The "not guilty" verdicts of Jose Ines Garcia Zarate for 1st or 2nd
degree murder and involuntary manslaughter by the jury in San Fransisco
certainly has frustrated many. The judge charged the jury that they
could *not* consider his illegal immigrant status, the fact that he was
deported 6 times but returned and that he had multiple felony
convictions in their deliberations.

I think the family of Kathryn Steinle (who he shot and killed) should
file a civil lawsuit for "unlawful death", but not against Zarate. He
has nothing to recover.

The suit should be brought against the city of San Fransisco and the
state of California for at least a billion dollars. I think they should
charge the city and state for causing the unlawful death by maintaining
a "Sanctuary" status and releasing a convicted felon and illegal
immigrant back into the population in direct defiance of federal ICE
demands that he be held for pickup and deportation.

In a civil action the bar is "preponderance of evidence", not "beyond
any reasonable doubt".






Perhaps now traction will be gained to remove federal funding of
any kind from sanctuary cities. Musta been Fat Harriets
relatives and think alikes on the jury.

I don't know anything about the evidence but I suspect it must have
been mostly circumstantial. The real provable crime is that the
alleged perpatrator was releasied back into the population even though
a convicted felon and illegal immigrant. It must be very demoralizing
for the police to have that sort of thing going on.

Also a felon with a gun. Gotta be jail time for that in a normal
jurisdiction.

CNN says up to 3 years on the California charge (and conviction). If
the feds charged him it would be 10.


As it stands now he may be sentenced but more likely will be deported
.... again.

Heard prosecutors are considering federal charges though.

Usually I don't like when people sue for anything they can get but in
this case I'd love to see the city and state sued for enough that it
rocks the financial foundations of both. Maybe then these crazy views
on sanctuary places will change.
