California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Campbell, 193 Cal.App.3d 1653, 239 Cal.Rptr. 214 (Cal. App. 1987):
Thus, in light of all the instructions, we are satisfied the giving of an unmodified CALJIC No. 8.11, if error, is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. (See Rose v. Clark (1986) 478 U.S. 570, 106 S.Ct. 3101, 3103-3109, 92 L.Ed.2d 460; People v. Romo, supra, 47 Cal.App.3d at p. 990, 121 Cal.Rptr. 684.)
