Kate Steinle trial: Garcia Zarate acquitted in San Francisco pier killing
How was he not guilty of at least involuntary manslaughter or negligent homicide? I have seen a few local cases where the DA went for the highest charge possible and failed miserably. That allowed the person to walk free when they would have easily been found guilty of a slightly lesser charge.
After six days of deliberations, a jury on Thursday convicted Garcia Zarate for unlawful possession of a firearm, which carries a sentence of up to three years. He was found not guilty of murder, as well of the lesser charges of involuntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon.
The office of San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee (D) released a statement Friday saying, “San Francisco is and will always be a Sanctuary City.”
