 3 2. (a) Proof of race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, gender
 4 identity or expression, religion, religious practice, age, disability or
 5 sexual orientation of the defendant, the victim or of both the defendant
 6 and the victim does not, by itself, constitute legally sufficient
 7 evidence satisfying the people's burden under paragraph (a) or (b) of
 8 subdivision one of this section.
 9 (b) If it is established that a person committed a specified offense
 10 as defined in subdivision three of this section, the following facts and
 11 circumstances, either individually or in combination with each other, is
 12 presumptive evidence that such person committed a hate crime pursuant to
 13 subdivision one of this section:
 14 (i) the defendant made declarations or statements contemporaneously
 15 with committing the specified offense regarding the race, color,
 16 national origin, ancestry, gender, gender identity or expression, reli-
 17 gion, religious practice, age, disability or sexual orientation of a
 18 person, regardless of whether the belief or perception is correct;
 19 (ii) the people have established the defendant's pattern of prior
 20 prejudice regarding race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender,
 21 gender identity or expression, religion, religious practice, age, disa-
 22 bility or sexual orientation, and the offense committed by such defend-
 23 ant was against the same protected class as the defendant's established
 24 prior prejudice;
