There was "no reasonable likelihood that the jury misunderstood CALCRIM No. 300... [citations]... [and] we apply the usual presumption that jurors are able to correlate, follow, and understand the court's instructions." (People v. Ibarra, supra, 156 Cal.App.4th at p. 1190.) Accordingly, the jury was properly instructed.
