Text: In its statement of reasons for upholding the death verdict under section 190.4, subdivision (e), the court twice referred to defendant's lack of remorse in connection with the killings. [18] Defendant contends that this indicates the court improperly considered a nonstatutory aggravating factor and that the case should be remanded for a reconsideration of that determination. In People v. Ghent, supra, 43 Cal.3d 739, 771 and other recent cases (e.g., People v. Miranda, supra, 44 Cal.3d at pp. 111-112; People v. Dyer (1988) 45 Cal.3d 26, 82 [246 Cal. Rptr. 209, 753 P.2d 1]; People v. Odle (1988) 45 Cal.3d 386, 422 [247 Cal. Rptr. 137, 754 P.2d 184]) we have considered and rejected the contention that consideration of a defendant's lack of remorse is error. We adhere to those decisions here.
