On Friday, the 1st District Court of Appeal in San Francisco overturned that conviction because the judge failed to give the jury the option of acquitting Garcia-Zarate on the theory he only possessed the weapon for a moment.
Garcia-Zarate remains in custody and is facing federal charges of gun possession and being in the country illegally. His attorney, Tony Serra, told The Associated Press that trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 13 and added that the appeals court reversal will give state prosecutors the option to re-try Garcia-Zarate.
In case you don’t remember, Kate Steinle’s killer had an immigration hold in San Bernardino -SoCal, Inland Empire. San Francisco knew he was to be deported & asked that he be sent to SF on an old pot charge. They did this for the sole reason of dismissing the pot charge & releasing him so as not to be deported.
Lets see justice for Kate and her family finally, please.
