Does section 190.3 of the California Criminal Code require a jury to consider whether certain mitigating factors were present?

" [T]he statutory instruction to the jury to consider "whether or not" certain mitigating factors were present did not impermissibly invite the jury to aggravate the sentence upon the basis of nonexistent or irrational aggravating factors. " (People v. Edwards (2013) 57 Cal.4th 658, 766, 161 Cal.Rptr.3d 191, 306 P.3d 1049 ; accord, People v. Linton, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 1216, 158 Cal.Rptr.3d 521, 302 P.3d 927.) "There is no constitutional requirement

[195 Cal.Rptr.3d 761]

that the jury be instructed regarding which of the statutory

[362 P.3d 407]

factors in section 190.3 are aggravating, which are mitigating, and which could be either aggravating or mitigating." (People v. Merriman (2014) 60 Cal.4th 1, 106107, 177 Cal.Rptr.3d 1, 332 P.3d 1187.)
