Does the admonition need to have been applied?

^12. The cases the People cite to argue the admonition was untimely merely observe that defense counsel sometimes refrain from objecting to a prosecutor's comments to avoid drawing the jurors' attention to them. (See People v. Harris (2008) 43 Cal.4th 1269,1290 [failure to request an admonition not ineffective assistance of counsel where counsel could have decided objection would highlight prosecutor's remarks]; People v. Huggins (2006) 38 Cal.4th 175, 206 [same].) That point has no bearing on whether the objection and request for an admonition here was timely.
