Kate Steinle case: Appeals court overturns gun conviction of Jose Inez Garcia Zarate
2019-08-31
[San Francisco Chronicle] A California court of appeal on Friday overturned the gun conviction against the undocumented immigrant acquitted by a San Francisco jury of murder in the shooting death of Kate Steinle on the city’s Pier 14 in 2015.

The state’s First District Court of Appeal reversed the November 2017 verdict that found Jose Inez Garcia Zarate guity of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Garcia Zarate, 46, was acquitted of homicide charges in the case that touched off a furor about immigration and sanctuary laws.

#8  In the Sargasso Sea, just off Trinidad,
I onec met a singular pinniped
That balanced its head
On its nose as it bled,
Being blessed with the gift of St. Winifred.

Also, it smelled of flowers! [cue Nathan Rogers]

#7  What part of this makes sense to the Left

The part where brown people can get away with anything.

#5  Remember its OK for an illegal to be in possession of a gun. Law abiding citizens however should be stripped of theirs. [What part of this makes sense to the Left other than the raw exercise of power?]

#4  So. He was shooting at seals by picking up a gun wrapped in a t shirt and waiting for it to accidentally go off. A very stochastic approach.

#3  So when he was shooting at seals -- which was his excuse for shooting Steinle -- he didn't have possession of a firearm?

No more gun laws until the left actually uses the ones already on the books.

#1  Clearly the way to handle any gun charge in court is to have your attorney insist you are an illegal alien.
