Steinle defendant won’t serve prison time
Mercury News ^ | 12-01-2017 | Tracey Kaplan and Angela Ruggiero

Posted on 12/01/2017 11:16:02 AM PST by KJC1

In a twist likely to outrage immigration hard-liners, the undocumented man acquitted of murder and manslaughter in the death of Kate Steinle won’t spend a day in state prison, even though the offense he was convicted of — being a felon in possession of a gun — makes him eligible.

(snip)

Adachi said federal immigration authorities have filed a warrant known as a “civil detainer” because he is in the country illegally. Under the detainer, the sheriff’s office must hold Garcia Zarate for ICE despite the city’s sanctuary policy. Typically in such cases, ICE agents come to the jail and take the inmate to a federal detention center pending federal deportation proceedings.

7 prior felonies and a firearm conviction still doesn’t merit a day in jail?


Credit for time served?
What if he had killed a sea lion under exactly the same circumstances? The gun “went off” and a ricochet killed sea lion. How much time would he do for that?

well, he’s been in jail for about 2.5 years up to the trial. even if they sentence, he’d probably be released because of time served.

The illegal alien (undocumented immigrant according to all the news reports) took the Hillary defense—”I did not intend to break the law”.

Thank you James Comey, you POS.

When you drive drunk and are in an accident, you are judged guilty whether you caused it or not; intent is not considered.

But what’s his travel route and where will he be staying for the next week or so? Just curious.

Grassley, someone we thought was on the people’s side but turned out to be just another deep state swamp creature. We elected a man who ran against the establishment and the establishment said “Screw you!”. I understand how rebels can be so vicious after toppling a government.

Will putting the words “toppling” and “government” in the same sentence wake someone up at the NSA?

Can they try him in federal court?

If I was that girls father I wouldn’t tell the judge a Goddamn thing, especially where to find the body of the perp or the bodies of the entire Goddamn jury.
I would track every damn one of them down and kill them as painfully as I could.
If they catch me BFD, I am old enough now that the worst they could do is give me life in prison on death row.
So, three hots and a cot and all I can read for the few years I have left.

Bol. You are braver than I am when it comes to the NSA. If you were a matador, the horns would be getting very close.

Grassley has been a huge disappointment because we expected better of him. But it’s not all on him. Voters have too reliably put the incumbents back in, one cycle after another. It breeds arrogance.

For a short time after Cantor’s defeat the swamp paid attention to the constituents. If we could just kick a few more big names to the curb, the rest would shape up.

I would put a Marine Corps heavy weapons team at every door, with rules of engagement saying “if anybody tries to escape kill’em”.

FOX news is reporting that the DOJ has issued an arrest warrant for him.

BREAKING: Justice Dept. has filed arrest warrant for Jose Garcia Zarate, the man acquitted of murder in Kate Steinle’s 2015 San Francisco shooting

I just read the above, but was looking for more confirmation. Thank you.

Looks like Sessions is doing more good work, despite what some think.

You’re welcome.

I agree with your last sentence and think we will be pleasantly surprised.

“Hopefully he will be released and some of her relatives will pay him a visit.”

Yes. I’m sure that will happen.

Yep.

And he will be back on the streets on Dec 14th or sooner.

Cause they'll hide him or sneak him out to protect him.

Trust me, ICE is pissed. They’ll have an agent stationed at every possible exit to every building that guy is in to make sure he doesn’t slip away.

I hope you are correct, however this is still in many ways running like Zero's banana republic. Some judge will file something and the guy will walk is my guess.

Because crime doesn't matter today in America. Not yet anyway.

Maybe not now that the DOJ has issued an arrest warrant for him. The Feds had better nab him ASAP.

Using a gun in the commitment of a crime is 5 years mandatory, and is the minimum. With his record he should be looking at 25 years.

“Using a gun in the commitment of a crime is 5 years mandatory, and is the minimum. With his record he should be looking at 25 years.”

That’s probably true, but just tonight Gregg Jarrett on FNC said exactly what I wrote. I just hope Little Limp Dick Jeffie Sessions actually does have the DOJ take the killer into custody. We can’t kill him, but we can keep him in jail for the rest of his life.

WOW, He will be back on the streets Dec 14th

If he were an American with a MAGA hat, he'd be going to San Quentin for life.
