Heading: Evidence of Unadjudicated Offenses

Text: Defendant contends the trial court erred in allowing the prosecution to introduce evidence of two acts of violence  attacking Deputy Blakely and other deputies in January 1992 and threatening Deputy Crisp in May 1993  that had never been adjudicated. We have previously held, however, that section 190.3, factor (b), which authorizes the jury to consider unadjudicated criminal activity, does not violate either the state or federal Constitution. ( People v. Brown (2003) 31 Cal.4th 518, 570-571, 3 Cal.Rptr.3d 145, 73 P.3d 1137; People v. Jones (1998) 17 Cal.4th 279, 312, 70 Cal. Rptr.2d 793, 949 P.2d 890; People v. Johnson, supra, 3 Cal.4th at p. 1244, 14 Cal. Rptr.2d 702, 842 P.2d 1.) Defendant offers no basis to question our earlier rulings.
