Kate Steinle case: Garcia Zarate indicted by feds as Gascón rips ‘mad man’ Trump
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | December 5, 2017 | Evan Sernoffsky

Posted on 12/06/2017 6:13:37 AM PST by artichokegrower

San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón said Tuesday that a jury’s acquittal of a homeless undocumented immigrant on murder and manslaughter charges in the killing of Kate Steinle was “hard to receive,” but that he respects the decision.

Compounding his frustration with the not guilty verdicts, he said, has been the reaction by conservative pundits and President Trump, who have turned the case against Jose Ines Garcia Zarate into a “political football” while pushing an anti-immigration agenda.

“Those who are using this for political benefits, to attack San Francisco and San Francisco values, I only say that this is an incredible city,” Gascón said at a news conference. “I stand for what this city stands for.”


And what does your city stand for? The murder of a young American citizen woman by a many times deported illegal alien? You and the other city administrators have the blood of Kate Steinle on your hands because of your inaction. The hell with you and the hell with your sanctuary city. Kinda hard to stand in your city anyhow with people pooping on the sidewalks.

Confirms my suspicions that the prosecution took a dive.

Case not without precedent in Sanctuary City San Francisco

Edwin Ramos

Edwin Umaña Ramos (born October 12, 1986 is a Salvadoran gang member and convicted triple murderer. An illegal immigrant from El Salvador and member of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang, he was convicted in 2012 of the June 22, 2008 slayings of Anthony Bologna and his sons, Michael and Matthew, in San Francisco. Ramos was born in El Salvador, grew up in San Francisco, and later moved to El Sobrante, California. As a teenager, Ramos twice served probation for violent crimes but was not deported. Ramos’s case brought much attention and outrage over San Francisco’s sanctuary city policy that prevented city officials from enforcing federal immigration law. Shortly after the murders, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom revised the policy to allow the city to refer undocumented juvenile felons to federal authorities.

Dear liberals: President Trump does not have an anti-immigration stance. He is pursuing an anti-illegal immigration stance. You are either too dumb to understand the difference, or, more likely, have succeeded in conflating the two in the minds of similarly stupid Americans.

They can go to hell. A White woman was sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. All those who disagree can jump off the Golden Gate Bridge.

...

That’s right folks. Keeping criminals out of the country is anti-immigration.

Liberals are nuts.

They full well know the difference.

They always SAY anti-immigration instead of anti-illegal immigration to imply something intentionally different, just like they say climate change when they are implying man-made global warming.

It allows them to vilify good people with critical minds.

Well put! I will be reciting this verbatim, the next time I hear some idiot say that Trump is anti-immigration (which is often).

President Trump, who have turned the case against Jose Ines Garcia Zarate into a “political football” ...


It is a b1tch when someone uses your tactics against you.

The left have had their way for so long they are stunned to come face to face with someone who is not going to back away from a fight.

Gascon better be prepared for the day he is arrested and charged for violating federal law. That day is coming.

“President Trump, who have turned the case against Jose Ines Garcia Zarate into a “political football”...”

Time to field goal kick this murderer’s butt straight into a life sentence in a federal prison.

Imagine the riots and looting if Kate was black, and Jose walked....think about that for a moment.

Double jeopardy.
No matter how bad the outcome the DoJ needs to leave this alone.

Not Double Jeopardy. SF cannot prosecute Federal Crimes.

Don’t think so. The DOJ isn’t going after him for murder-—

They are going after him for violating the terms of his deportation.

They should not be able to prosecute him again. It is a bad precedent, like the prosecution of the officers in the Rodney King case.

The feds indicted Zarate for *federal* crimes (of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition and of being an undocumented immigrant in possession of a gun and ammunition) which differ from the state charges. No murder or manslaughter charges, or any overlap with the state charges where Zarate was acquitted.

Not a double jeopardy scenario.
