Heading: Overlap of Section 190.3, Factors (b) and (c).

Text: (52) Defendant contends the court should have modified CALJIC No. 8.84.1 to make it clear that factor (c) of section 190.3 (the presence or absence of any prior felony conviction) applied only to felonies other than those covered under factor (b) of section 190.3 (the presence or absence of criminal activity by the defendant which involved the use or attempted use of force or violence or the express or implied threat to use force or violence). We disagree. We held in People v. Melton (1988) 44 Cal.3d 713, 764-765 [244 Cal. Rptr. 867, 750 P.2d 741], that an offense which qualifies under both factors (b) and (c) may properly be considered under both.
