Zarate will be turned over to federal authorities

(KRON) The man acquitted in the death of Kate Steinle was sentenced to three years for a gun possession charge.
A judge denied a defense request to give Jose Ines Garcia Zarate a new trial for his conviction of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Garcia Zarate will now be taken into federal custody, but it’s not clear when he will be transferred.
Defense attorneys argued that the judge failed to properly instruct jurors, who found Garcia Zarate not guilty last month of killing Kate Steinle on a popular pier in 2015.
