Heading: The Unconstitutionality of Section 190.3, Factor (a) As Applied to This Case

Text: Defendant argues that if we interpret section 190.3, factor (a) to allow multiple family members to testify as to how the nature of Sophia's murder affected them, when none of them personally witnessed the offense, we will render that statute unconstitutionally vague and overbroad. We have repeatedly rejected identical arguments in other cases, and defendant fails to convince us to reconsider those decisions. ( People v. Hamilton (2009) 45 Cal.4th 863, 931 [89 Cal.Rptr.3d 286, 200 P.3d 898]; People v. Pollock, supra, 32 Cal.4th 1153, 1183; People v. Boyette (2002) 29 Cal.4th 381, 443-445 & fn. 12 [127 Cal.Rptr.2d 544, 58 P.3d 391].)
