How have the courts treated counsel's admonitions to counsel in a jury trial?

Importantly, none of the court's admonitions to counsel were made in front of the jury, and not once did the court discredit defendant's case. (See People v. Snow (2003) 30 Cal.4th 43, 81 ["the effect of the court's remarks was not to 'discredit the defense or credit the impression it was allying with the prosecution' "].) Even if individual jurors had a negative view of defendant's attorney, they were instructed not to let bias toward the attorneys influence their decision, and nothing in the record rebuts the presumption that the jurors understood and followed the court's instructions. (People v. Covarrubias (2016) 1 Cal.5th 838, 905.)
