Listening to Democrats in Congress on the issue of immigration makes me sick to my stomach.

One thing can think of is this court appointed attorney was able to convince the judge at pre-trial that the defendant's past public illegal and criminal records should be suppressed as it would prejudice the case The other reason for this massive miscarriage of justice is too transparently obvious! In all case this hurting the SF & CA Citizens BIG TIME

It was horrible before and now it is a worse nightmare. I am wondering how did they get the jury that had never heard of this guy and the killing of Kate Steinle?

What does San Francisco think of its 'sanctuary city' status now?

To the editor: Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was accused of killing Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco. His defense was that he found a recently stolen handgun, which fired the bullet that struck and killed Steinle in 2015. ( The Kate Steinle verdict will please few, and be manipulated by many, Opinion, Dec. 3)

By acquitting him of murder and voluntary manslaughter (criminal negligence), the jury found that he had no legal responsibility for the accidental discharge of the gun held in his hand.

Although the trial jury was never told that Garcia Zarate had been deported as an illegal immigrant five times and had seven prior felony convictions, I m sure the citizens of San Francisco are now aware of these facts because of post-trial media publicity. My question to them is this: Is Garcia Zarate still welcome in their sanctuary city?
