I remember the defense argument was he found the gun, and dropped it. Apparently not witnesses that saw him aim and shoot her.
Sorry.I think that a lot of us were in shock when we posted.I don't know why .. It is California after all!
This was a political verdict. Can't have the policies they're so proud of called into question by the rubes in the rest of the country.If the jurors/powers that be in SF think this will end the controversy over sanctuary cities or thought it would be fun to poke their critics in the eye with this verdict I do not think its ultimate effect will be quite as they believe.

Where's Charles Bronson when we need him?
All I can think of is her poor family, this spits in the face of justice. And Trump campaigned on this, the poster boy of illegal aliens was the accused. Sheesh.
I'm trying to see the silver lining here.If the jury had administered true justice here public opinion might have been prematurely placated. This perversion of justice just might ratchet up the public's sense of outrage at a time when legislation that might make a permanent difference is being considered. I hope.
“We didn’t have a stance against sanctuary city,†Jim Steinle said in 2015, adding “We wanted to make darn sure that people understand that, because that’s kind of the hot-button issue locally.â€
I know it's a bad time but I wonder if the parents have had a change of heart over "Sanctuary Cities?"Kate Steinle's parents came out in 2015 and said they didn't like the use of the term "Kate's Law" for the Federal law under consideration to cut funding to sanctuary cities because they were not necessarily against sanctuary cities.http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/341137-kate-steinles-father-we-didnt-coin-kates-law
There is no silver lining here except for the murderer who will once again be sent back to Mexico....say a prayer for Kate's family..I can't imagine their pain.
California DA's can't win a conviction to save their lives. Worthless lot of asswipes.
Maybe and then again maybe not. Jeff Sessions can prosecute at the federal level. Felon with a gun is good for 5-15. There are other possible federal charges too.
I don't know. This looks like the outcome they wanted. The trial was just for show.
Could be an extension of the Sanctuary State policy.. No undocumented persons shall be detained or convicted of a crime at the state or local level by order of Gov Moonbeam....
They don't recognize or Celebrate Christmas out there. Must be a Ramadan/Kwanzaa Miracle.
