2013We find the evidence in this case was sufficient to establish the specific intent requirement of the gang enhancement statute. 5 In People v. Ochoa (2009) 179 Cal.App.4th 650 , the appellate court criticized the Ramon court’s insufficiency analysis, stating: “the statute requires only that a defendant act ‘with the specific intent to promote, further, or assist in any criminal conduct by gang members . . . .’ (§ 186.22, subd. (b), italics added.) We would find the evidence in Ramon sufficient to meet the specific intent prong of the statute.” ( 179 Cal.App.4th at p. 661, fn. 6 .) 11 DISPOSITIO

But for Carl Jr.'s abrupt decision to leave the apartment, it is likely that these steps would have resulted in a completed violation of section 288. ( People v. Werner, supra, 16 Cal.2d at pp. 221-222.) Viewing the evidence in this light, this court cannot say that the trial court's first degree murder verdict was not supported by substantial evidence of attempted lewd or lascivious conduct under a felony-mu
