“Reviewing the SIG Sauer website shows these handguns cost $1,000 or more. You can see how defense counsel could easily argue that a homeless illegal immigrant would be unfamiliar with one.”
Absolute, pure baloney. Cost has nothing to do with it. It works like millions of other guns made by dozens of other manufacturers in the last 75 years. Red State sinks further and further into the left-wing slime.
This Redstate writer is an idiot. This is pure pro illegal alien propaganda from the open borders dirtbags at red state, a gop establishment paid for site previously run by the vile and loathsome never trumper erick erickson. This writers observations are idiotic as well as irrelevant. It is a ploy to deflect from the upcoming open borders mnesty push, nothing more.
Apparently the authoress knows as little about guns as the poor innocent defendant.
Apparently she believes the defense's arguement that someone else stole the pistol from the fed's unlocked vehicle and discarded it in a very public place in view of cameras and the undocumented migrant found it in Condition 4 with the scary "hair trigger" enabled and it just "went off".
Let's get some "facts" straight.
The perp was not "confused" during interrogation. He is a career criminal that was "lieing".
Ms Stienle is dead because the perp pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger.
The murderer was acquitted because:
A. The jury was racist and hates America.
B. The jury was stupid.
C.the prosecution was inept.
D. The prosecution didn't really want a conviction.
As a final note: If you were a subject of the Peoples Republic of CA and you had a loaded, unattended pistol stolen from your unlocked vehicle that was then used in a homicide you would be up S*** Creek.
