Heading: Failure to Require Written Findings

Text: (28) Defendant next claims that the court erred in failing to require a written statement from the jury detailing the evidence upon which it relied and its reasons for imposing the death penalty. We have determined that such written findings are not required by law and are not necessary to protect a defendant's due process and Eighth Amendment rights. ( People v. Rodriguez, supra, 42 Cal.3d at pp. 777-779; People v. Jackson, supra, 28 Cal.3d at pp. 316-317; see also Harris v. Pulley (9th Cir.1982) 692 F.2d 1189, 1195, revd. on other grounds sub nom. Pulley v. Harris (1984) 465 U.S. 37 [79 L.Ed.2d 29, 104 S.Ct. 871].)
