The following excerpt is from People v. Han, G054972 (Cal. App. 2018):
6. Arguments of counsel are of course not evidence (People v. Barajas (1983) 145 Cal.App.3d 804, 809-810), and the jury was specifically instructed on this point. We presume the jury understood and followed the court's instructions. (People v. Sanchez (2001) 26 Cal.4th 834, 852.)
