What is the test for a jury to consider a charge of mayhem?

instruction mirrored the statutory language, and no further explanation was necessary to inform the jury of the nature of the charge. (See Santana, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 1010 [Legislature established injury's requisite level of seriousness by delineating types of injuries that suffice for mayhem]; see also People v. Montoya (1994) 7 Cal.4th 1027, 1047-1048 [trial court must instruct sua sponte on general principles of law necessary for jury's understanding of the case].)

The judgment is affirmed.
