What is the standard of review in a challenge to a jury instruction?

In reviewing a challenge to a jury instruction, the appellate court must consider the instructions as a whole and assume that jurors are capable of understanding and correlating all of the instructions given to them. (People v. Fitzpatrick (1992) 2 Cal.App.4th 1285, 1294.) The standard of review in an appellate challenge to the accuracy or adequacy of an instruction is whether there is a reasonable likelihood that the jury applied the instruction in a way that denied fundamental fairness. (Estelle v. McGuire (1991) 502 U.S. 62, 72-73 [we evaluate the whole record, including instructions in their entirety and arguments of counsel].)
