What is the effect of a trial judge's initial statement to jurors that he thought their penalty verdict was correct?

Although the trial judge here initially indicated to the jurors that he thought their penalty verdict was correct, he did not suggest that he was committed to that view, and his remarks did not imply that further examination of the verdict was unnecessary. Moreover, while the judge here did not explain his statements, we may reasonably infer, from his utilization of the phrase "for whatever value that may be to you" in concluding his remarks, that the judge intended his comments to have therapeutic value for the jurors rather than a legal purpose, just as in People v. Belmontes.
