How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that the prosecution may establish gang enhancement with evidence of predicate crimes committed by nonlocal subsets where there is evidence of \associational or organizational connection\
interpreting “group” in “organization, association, or 6 group” as requiring a meaning “generally similar to—and at least no broader than” the preceding 7 terms
“[W]e must stop short of construing [a statute] so expansively that we render 12 the other terms ‘unnecessary or redundant . . . .” (citation omitted)
court 3 held evidence must show relationship between gang subsets and the overarching gang
“The critical shortcoming in the prosecution’s evidence was the lack of an associational or organizational connection between the two alleged Norteño subsets that committed the requisite predicate offenses, and the larger Nor-teño gang that Prunty allegedly assaulted Manzo to benefit.”
conc. & dis. opn. of Corrigan, J.
