What is the test for determining the meaning of a jury's verdict in a civil case?

The court thus had the last word on the applicable law. "Jurors are presumed able to understand and correlate instructions and are further presumed to have followed the court's instructions. [Citation.]" (People v. Sanchez (2001) 26 Cal.4th 834, 852.) Given the circumstances, the instructions and the court's admonition to the jury that the court's instructions must be followed, it is not reasonably likely that the prosecutor's comments led the jury to disregard or misunderstand the court's instructions, or to apply the prosecutor's comments in an improper or erroneous manner. (Cf. People v. Archer (1989) 215 Cal.App.3d 197, 204.)
