What is the effect of striking the testimony and admonishing the jury not to consider it against defendant?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. MARLOW, B220279, No. LA 057347 (Cal. App. 2011):
First, the trial court immediately struck the testimony and admonished the jury not to consider it as against defendant. We presume the jury followed the admonition. (People v. Coffman and Marlow (2004) 34 Cal.4th 1, 113; People v. Morris (1991) 53 Cal.3d 152, 194 ["The trial court's timely and specific admonition, which the jury is presumed to have followed, cured any prejudice resulting from the witness's inadvertent and improper statement"].)
