The following excerpt is from People v. Lema, H044128 (Cal. App. 2019):
Even if we were to assume that the trial court's response was an incorrect or incomplete statement of the law, we would determine that defendant was not prejudiced because it is not "reasonably probable that a result more favorable to [him] would have been reached in the absence of the error." (People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818, 836 (Watson).)
