It is not unconstitutional to base a special circumstance on a prior conviction for a murder committed as a juvenile.

No showing of judicial bias in allowing testimony of husband's divorce attorney on his intention to get support reduction, introduced on question of wife's motive for murdering husband.

Circumstantial evidence showing V feared D may be admissible where acts of V prior to crime at issue—i.e. whether she would enter D's car voluntarily or was forced.

Court did not err in finding D's evidence not sufficient to establish habit or custom of V in keeping her door partly open while cleaning her apartment, thus negating D's felonious intent in entering.

Evidence of V's long-standing habit of storing money in baby food jars and envelopes relevant where empty jars found at scene and D carrying money in envelope following murders.

Conduct of victim relevant whether before or after incident.
