The trial of five-time deportee, seven-time convicted felon Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez for the murder of young San Francisco resident Kate Steinle has been delayed until after the 2016 presidential election.

On Thursday, a judge set December 2 as the date to assign the case for trial, according to the East Bay Times. The actual start of the trial might only happen in 2017. Prosecutor Diane Garcia said Thursday that she has cases that have dragged on for four years.

Steinle was walking along San Francisco’s Pier 14 with her father on July 1, 2015 when a shot in the back left her dead. Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez was arrested shortly thereafter. He gave a jailhouse confession to the crime in the aftermath. His lawyers argue that the shot with the gun, which they say he found, was an accident.

Defense attorneys always try to drag things out as long as possible. If witnesses die in the meantime, all the better.

This is a good thing.

If Trump capitalizes on it, he will make continuous reference to the guy and how the system is treating him far better then he treated an American woman.

There will be no sympathy for this stone age thug.

I still think this was a deliberate murder. I don’t know why it was done, but the odds of triggering a gun randomly in public are enormous, and then to kill an unknown person on a sparsely populated pier even more so. People point guns and pull triggers - that’s how it works. Only liberals think they just go off mysteriously and kill people.

I can sum this up in two words: “it’s fixed.”

Fourteen months ago and the trial will not be for another 5 months. For justice to be effective, it also needs to be swift. IIRC the evidence against this guy was pretty strong. The trial should have started 6 months ago.

One reason I watch him is to see that vein burst in his left temple. Barney Frank almost had it.

It sounds like they don’t want to short circuit Clintoon’s low information voters.

I wish he’s knock the crap out of Whoraldo, for one. Then the next minute or two I wish someone would smack him.

I think the court is in San Francisco .. isn’t it ..?? That’s where she was killed.

But, my guess is the judge is protecting Obama/Hillary .. because of his lax policies now regarding illegals, and the possibility of the same if Hillary is elected.
