Heading: Lack of Specific Findings Regarding Aggravating Factors

Text: Defendant maintains that the trial court's failure to require the jury to make findings regarding which aggravating factors it relied upon precluded meaningful appellate review in violation of the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the federal Constitution and deprived him of equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment. As defendant acknowledges, we previously have rejected this contention. ( People v. Gray (2005) 37 Cal.4th 168, 236, 33 Cal. Rptr.3d 451, 118 P.3d 496; People v. Vieira (2005) 35 Cal.4th 264, 303, 25 Cal. Rptr.3d 337, 106 P.3d 990.)
