The following excerpt is from People v. Hernandez, B276313 (Cal. App. 2017):

Where there is no evidence to suggest "a frolic and detour," "the jury [can] reasonably infer the requisite association from the very fact that defendant committed the charged crimes in association with fellow gang members." (People v. Morales (2003) 112 Cal.App.4th
