Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, 45, was acquitted of murder and involuntary manslaughter charges, as well as assault with a deadly weapon. Jurors convicted the Mexican citizen of being a felon in possession of a firearm, which could bring a three-year sentence. Prosecutors had argued Garcia Zarate intentionally shot Steinle, 32, with a Sig Sauer .40-caliber handgun as she and her father walked on San Francisco's Pier 14. But Garcia Zarate's defense attorney said the shooting was accidental and the bullet ricocheted off the ground and traveled about 80 feet before hitting Steinle. Like perhaps I am completely ignorant of the law, but isn't his own defense attorney basically using "it was involuntary manslaughter!" as a defense here? Yes..... the attorney LITERALLY told the judge and jury that "yeah, he commited negligent homicide, but he didn't kill her on purpose so it's not murder" with what he was saying. The jury still found him not guilty. We all KNOW why. Because the prosecutor tried tacking on unnecessary First and Second Degree Homicide charges, tainting the ENTIRE case in the eyes of the jurors. Much like how Casey Anthony got acquitted. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso <cite>Inviso posted [p:891372949] in Politics C...
