Issues – Criminal Law – 1) Does § 9-805(a) Criminal Law Article, which prohibits the “promot[ion]” of a criminal organization, require a specific intent to limit its scope to gang kingpins seeking to further one of the subtitle’s “underlying crimes” for the benefit of the organization? 2) Was there sufficient evidence to convict Petitioner of violating § 9-805(a) where his act of “promotion” consisted of standing by a codefendant who spray painted a gang symbol on a public wall, which is not one of the subtitle’s “underlying crimes”?
