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".

Good plan.

Lousy interpretation of what the law may do. Also, presenting evidence
of a prior criminal history typically is not something the prosecution
can bring up in a criminal case.

The family can certainly sue just about anyone in civil court for just
about anything, particularly wrongful death. Winning may or may not
happen and I am not even sure a judgement against the city would yield
much.
A far easier case would be for Sessions to go after this weasel on
federal gun charges. That comes with real time and it would get him
out of California where ICE gets a shot at him after he gets out of
prison.
Maybe in 20 years we will actually have a secure border and he won't
be back after they deport him ... for the 6th time.


Only problem is it doesn't put any squeeze on San Francisco or
California for being a sanctuary city and state.
