People v. Jung

In People v. Jung (1999) 71 Cal. App. 4th 1036, rival gang members chased and beat the victim, forced him to disrobe, placed him bound and naked in the trunk of a car, burned him with cigarettes, forced him to drink urine, tattooed him, poured rubbing alcohol over the raw tattoos, rubbed Ben-Gay on his genitals, shaved his head, dressed him in girl's clothing, forced him to dance, bit him, and threatened to kill family members if he talked to the police. The defendants contended the evidence established only an intent to humiliate the victim, not to inflict extreme pain. The court disagreed and held the evidence supported an intent to cause severe pain and suffering. ( Id. at p. 1041.)
