## Opinion text

PETERS, J., Concurring.
By a four-to-three vote this court has upheld the California procedure involved in the impositon of the death penalty. (In re Anderson and Saterfield, 69 Cal.2d 613 [ 73 Cal.Rptr. 21 , 447 P.2d 117 ].) While I disagreed with the majority opinion, I am bound by it unless or until it is reversed. Solely by compulsion of the majority rule announced in that case, I concur in the judgment.
Tobriner, J., concurred.
