What is the test for the jury in a personal injury trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Singh, F059226, Super. Ct. No. F08907900 (Cal. App. 2011):
We presume, as we must, that the jury consists "of intelligent persons who are fully able to understand, correlate and follow the instructions given to them." (People v. Archer (1989) 215 Cal.App.3d 197, 204.) Absent some affirmative indication in the record to the contrary, and here there is none, we presume the jury followed the instructions given. (People v. Holt (1997) 15 Cal.4th 619, 662.)
