“... the ordinary presumption that the jury abided by the court's admonition to disregard the statement. "The jury is sworn to render verdict according to law, and, by our statute, must receive the law from the Court. When the Court has instructed that something which they have heard is not to be considered by them, we must presume in favor of their oath and public duty." State v. Cavness, 46 Haw. 470, 473 , 381 P.2d 685, 686-687 (1963) (citations omitted).”
