MODIFICATION OF OPINION 
THE COURT: 
 
The opinion herein, appearing at 39 Cal.4th 481, is modified as follows: 
 
The final sentence of footnote 7 (39 Cal.4th at p. 491) is modified to read as 
follows:  “We do not address it and leave the issue to be resolved in the first 
instance by the Court of Appeal on remand.  Among the questions the appellate 
court may confront  are (1) whether defendant preserved a claim that the trial court 
responded improperly, and (2) in any event, whether the trial court abused its 
broad discretion  in handling the matter.” 
 
The final sentence of the conclusion (39 Cal.4th at pp. 501-502) is amended 
to read as follows:  “The judgment of the Court of Appeal is reversed insofar as it 
vacated the section 1192.7(c)(8) finding that defendant personally inflicted great 
bodily injury in the commission of felony assault and the matter is remanded to the 
Court of Appeal with directions to consider, in a manner not inconsistent with the 
views expressed in this opinion, defendant’s argument that the trial court erred in 
responding to the jury’s request during deliberations for “clarification of 
‘personal’ ” as used in section 1192.7(c)(8) and CALJIC No. 17.20.” 
 
These modifications affect the judgment.
