Heading: Whether the Three Strikes Law Repealed the Death Penalty

Text: Defendant contends the judgment of death should be reversed because the Three Strikes law (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12) repealed the death penalty in California. We previously have rejected similar claims. (See People v. Samayoa (1997) 15 Cal.4th 795, 861-862, 64 Cal.Rptr.2d 400, 938 P.2d 2; People v. Alvarez (1996) 14 Cal.4th 155, 58 Cal. Rptr.2d 385, 926 P.2d 365; see also People v. Williams (1995) 40 Cal.App.4th 446, 457-458, 46 Cal.Rptr.2d 730.) Defendant presents no persuasive reason for this court to reconsider its previous holdings. We therefore reject his claim.
The judgment is affirmed in its entirety. MOSK, J., KENNARD, J., BAXTER, J., WERDEGAR, J., CHIN, J., and BROWN, J., concur.
