A California state appeals court Friday overturned the lone conviction against an undocumented immigrant who shot and killed Kate Steinle on the San Francisco waterfront in 2015, a case which drew national attention and became a flashpoint in the debate over illegal immigration.
Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate, who was in the U.S. illegally had been deported to his native Mexico five times, was acquitted in November 2017 of first and second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and assault with a semi-automatic weapon. He was convicted of one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
On Friday, the 1st District Court of Appeal in San Francisco overturned that conviction because the judge failed to instruct the jury on one of Garcia-Zarate's defenses. Garcia-Zarate remains in custody and is facing federal gun charges.

Hey he only murdered an American. Give the guy a break. He’s got better food.
He’s just doing the jobs Americans refuse to do.
He did it out of love.

From day one this has been a travesty. And to think that congress, even when in republican hands couldnt pass Kates law is sad.

FUCA. they had a proposed law in CA requiring people leaving the state to leave their assets there and not take them with them! Someone told them no, not yet, but all the legislators were going to vote on it.
CA is a rogue communist nation of its own.

If he were an Anglo, he'd be spending the rest of his life in San Quentin. Overturned conviction? Not a chance.
I hope President Trump takes this outrage and runs with it. Put it before "the people's court". Make it a campaign issue.

I’m very grateful for having grown up when this country was still predominantly sane.
This news is an utterly shameful travesty.

Would it be wrong to hope that those appeals court judges get victimized by illegal aliens?

The Democrat Party regime that controls California
doesn't care if illegal aliens murder US/California citizens.
They encourage it. Particularly if it's white citizens being murdered.

If a citizen picked up a gun and shot a random illegal alien... by which I really mean a white citizen, and alien of color...
sure the judge and jury would accept, “oh, I found it on the bench and I picked it up and it just went off...”
Not guilty!
At this point a leftist would point out that white people were found not guilty in similarly egregious circumstances.
A generation before Kate Steinle was born.
You’re never going to balance the scales with injustice.
