Description
This is the fifth, and probably not the last, in a series of recent decisions by this court that involve Penal Code section 186.22, a provision of the California Street Terrorism Enforcement and Prevention Act of 1988, also known as the STEP Act. *fn1 Three of these cases, People v. Gardeley (1996) 14 Cal.4th 605, People v. Loeun (1997) 17 Cal.4th 1, and People v. Zermeno (1999) 21 Cal.4th 927, concerned subdivision (b)(1) of section 186.22; that subdivision increases the punishment for gang-related felonies. The fourth case, People v. Castenada (2000) 23 Cal.4th 743 (Castenada), involved subdivision (a), which defines a particular offense to which only gang members are subject. An element of that offense is that the defendant "actively participates in any criminal street gang." (§ 186.22, subd. (a).) In those four decisions, section 186.22 was directly at issue.
