SAN FRANCISCO — After nearly a week of deliberations, a jury of six men and six women has announced they have reached a verdict deciding the fate of an undocumented immigrant accused of fatally shooting 32-year-old Kate Steinle two years ago at San Francisco’s Pier 14.

>>San Jose defense attorney Dennis Alan Lempert said the prosecution should have pursued a charge of negligent discharge of a weapon rather than murder in the first- or second-degree and involuntary manslaughter. “The notion that it was an intentional shot to kill somebody belies credulity,” said Lempert, a former reserve officer with the Los Gatos police, noting that the bullet ricocheted off the pavement, ultimately traveling 200 feet — the equivalent of more than 10 lanes of traffic. “But the pressure on the prosecution was enormous.”
When an illegal immigrant in a community fires a gun into the air on New Year’s Eve (because that’s how such celebrations are done in third world countries) and the bullet comes down and hits a person, killing him or her, I seriously doubt that ANY prosecutor would merely pursue the “negligent discharge” charge and not involuntary manslaughter.
Thanks, Blue.
After 8 years of Obama purging, I wonder how many true patriots are still in military leadership positions. Perhaps DJT would ask some retired military patriot generals to return to service.
Now its our turn.We need to push the delete button for the entire West coast.Just let it float out into the Pacific on the next outgoing tide.
I would like for us to have one.
He's right.
You could be right. Aa lot of people have been sitting back waiting to see what happens. BOR really put Kate on the map and to see this huge miscarriage of justice in the name of Sanctuary cities which was little more than a Deep State op instituted by the former regime could be the straw that broke it all.
This could be one more nail, a big one in the dems coffin.

This verdict is worse than the OJ Simpson verdict.
I feel terrible for the family.
they are SERIOUSLY EFFED UP in that city!
I could not believe this!
Her poor family.
Hope someone serves a dose of “street justice” to this focker. Heck, he will probably end up with a book deal and millions.
So the jury said, “It is worse to have possession of a gun than it is to use it and kill someone, especially if you are an illegal.”
Gun possession is a victimless crime. Shooting someone is not.
“I feel terrible for the family.”
I feel half ferrible for the family. When the shooting occurred I Googled some info about them. It was pretty obvious they’re big libs who supported all things liberal. If they didn’t vote for people and policies that created abuses by illegal aliens, I’d be shocked.
Also, IIRC, the family had a problem with PDJT using Kate’s situation, as it relates to illegals, during the campaign. I think her brother made statements about it.
Elections have consequences.
No. Giving the finger to the girl and her family, and to all the rest of America.
Not one red cent of our tax money should go to that hell-hole.
Can the rest of us start a petition asking California to secede?
the action should be purging California from the union
California should be kicked out
It certainly seems that they have declared war against the rest of us.
And the actions of the attorney, framing this with politics, as if Trump was the one on trial here - that’s just sick. If he wants to live in a banana republic where law enforcement is just the means for political hit jobs, he should move to Mexico.
Oh wait...
Can the rest of America start a petition to remove CA from the union of states?
I do wonder what would happen if one of her family members found a gun that was just laying out for them and it accidentally went off while they were looking at it and the bullet accidentally hit and killed this guy...
So, now this guy can be deported again, come back and kill someone else. Congratulations San Francisco.
"The jury, which included three immigrants..."
What the HELL! You can bet that they were illegal scum.
