How have courts interpreted the instruction in the context of a jury instruction in a criminal case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Penaloza, G044756 (Cal. App. 2013):

The instruction was an accurate statement of the law. (People v. Bland, supra, 10 Cal.4th at pp. 1002-1003.) It was not slanted in favor of the prosecution and merely informed the jury as to a permissible inference it could draw from testimony if it accepted the evidence as true.6

2. CALCRIM No. 372
