Brutal. Almost inconceivable. But it's SF. Next up Steinles family ordered to pay reparations to the illegal criminal fuckwit immigrant thug. Voting Democrat has consequences.

This is just stupid and criminal what Democrats and liberals are creating. Fucking assholes.

Outrageous, fuck liberals this is a spit in the face to American citizens. Trump 2020.

California is fucked; after so many Mexicans invaded and so many assholes gave them work, they've become dominant politically.

That asshole didn't accidentally discharge that Sig; it required pulling the slide backwards, loading a round in the chamber, cocking the hammer in the back position, ready to fire.

The perp didn't find that gun in that condition; he had to rack it and shoot it deliberately.

The justice system here is out of control; it's politically correct to forgive the illegal Mexicans for their crimes; the California natives are total pussies concerning this issue.

What's amazing is the dimwit people here did it to themselves; they elected assholes in Sacramento to screw them.

In a couple of years I will make the difficult decision to stay and pay thousands of $$$ per year in California taxes or bail out and sweat it through the hot steamy summers in Florida (no tax state). Maybe I would travel to Switzerland or other prime spots with the $$$ I don't pay to California.

Right such a beautiful state full of natural riches, only leftoids can fuck this up. I will be bailing in a few years, unfortunately CA is fucked

You're on to it. I have now expanded my euphemism to "flash mob of white supremacy" or similar. But now I have to squeeze this in.

At which point do we disregard the law ourselves? I mean, it's not being applied elsewhere, so why to us?

I like most of the Hispanic people I've met, but California public schools are now well over 50% Hispanic.

I am worried that California will turn into Mexico.

In a politically charged case, a California state appeals court tossed the single remaining conviction against an illegal alien who was found not guilty of a murder charge four years ago for shooting a random woman at a San Francisco tourist attraction, after he had been freed by local authorities. The case drew national attention to sanctuary cities’ refusal to hand over wanted individuals to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Multiple deportee Jose Ines Garcia-Zarate, also known as Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, fired one bullet into Kate Steinle, 32, on Pier 14 on July 1, 2015. Steinle was shot in front of her father and later died in a hospital.

On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump referenced Steinle’s killing by the illegal alien who was prematurely freed by the local jailer.

Before the shooting, ICE had filed an immigration detainer document with then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, a Democrat, identifying the man as an immigration law-enforcement priority and requested he be temporarily held beyond any scheduled time of release so the agency could take him into custody. Three months before the shooting, Mirkarimi, an outspoken supporter of the sanctuary movement, followed San Francisco’s official sanctuary policy and refused to keep Garcia-Zarate in jail to await ICE.

After his arrest, the foreign national, who was already a convicted felon and had previously been deported to Mexico five times, claimed he had found the stolen gun and that it had fired accidentally when he picked it up. The bullet ricocheted, striking Steinle, evidence showed. A jury acquitted him of murder on Nov. 30, 2017, but convicted him on a single count of unlawful gun possession. He was given a three-year prison term.

After the murder acquittal, Trump denounced the verdict and then-U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions blamed San Francisco’s sanctuary policy for the victim’s death.

“The Kate Steinle killer came back and back over the weakly protected Obama border, always committing crimes and being violent, and yet this info was not used in court. His exoneration is a complete travesty of justice. BUILD THE WALL!” he wrote on Twitter on Dec. 1, 2017.

But on Aug. 30, by a vote of 3–0, a panel of the 1st District Court of Appeal in San Francisco, threw out the firearms conviction because Garcia-Zarate only held the gun momentarily. The court held that the jury’s verdict meant jurors rejected the prosecution’s contention that the shooting was deliberate or negligent. The jury had asked the trial judge to define possession and explain if a time element applied to it.

The Dems had to let him go; otherwise one could claim the killer was convicted of a gun crime when he wasn't supposed to be here and was only here because the Federal Request was ignored.

I guarantee you if you were a native Californian and shot somebody with a gun you found only a few minutes ago, Judges would have "Found" such a technicality.

Blah, blah blah, and yet:

It will now be up to San Francisco prosecutors to decide whether they want to re-try Garcia-Zarate on the charge. As of late Friday, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office had not responded to a request for comment about the court’s opinion.

The ruling has no direct bearing on a separate federal gun possession case against Garcia-Zarate. He remains in custody at the Santa Rita Jail as he awaits a trial set for January in that case.

I haven't followed this case, but it sounds like an accident. Perhaps involuntary manslaughter was prosecutor overreach as someone suggested in the comments. And the gun charge will be tried again in federal courts.

No they didn't. He's in jail awaiting January federal trial.

FEDERAL trial. The Dems who want to get him off are in control of California and appointed those Judges. It was after he was found not guilty in Steinle's Death that he was charged in Federal Court, and then California tried to stop that (using taxpayer dollars) on "Double Jeopardy" grounds, but the Federal Courts disagreed.

Cali Dems want Garcia-Zarate off, so nobody can say he was convicted of a violent offense after being released rather than turned over to ICE who requested he be held. Dems put propaganda ahead of Justice.

I hope this nut/addict/both doesn't hurt anybody, because if he does, California will go into overdrive to get him off so they can't be accused of releasing yet another person who should be incarcerated until trial/deported.

@GavinNewsom Please watch this video of me getting attacked at my front door less than 72-hrs ago. The man who attacked me was released this morning because the judge, Christine Van Aken believes that this man is not a danger to our community.
