LIU, J.,
Concurring. — Today’s opinion reverses the penalty verdict because the trial court erred under Wainwright v. Witt (1985) 469 U.S. 412 [83 L.Ed.2d 841, 105 S.Ct. 844] in dismissing several jurors for cause. Thus, the court’s rejection of defendant’s penalty-related claims that the trial court erred in denying his motion to add questions to the questionnaire and in truncating voir dire (maj. opn., ante, at pp. 585-589) is dicta, and I do not join those portions of today’s opinion. In all other respects, I concur.
Cuéllar, J., concurred.
