The following excerpt is from People v. Bonin, 254 Cal.Rptr. 298, 47 Cal.3d 808, 765 P.2d 460 (Cal. 1989):
We believe that the court adequately instructed the jurors on this matter. (See part IV C 5, ante.) Defendant may be understood to claim that the court should have amplified on or explained its instruction. But in the absence of a request, it was under no obligation to do so. (People v. Anderson (1966) 64 Cal.2d 633, 639, 51 Cal.Rptr. 238, 414 P.2d 366.)
