Defense attorneys who won acquittal for a homeless undocumented immigrant on murder, manslaughter and assault charges in the shooting of Kate Steinle on a San Francisco Bay pier will seek to have the sole conviction in the case dismissed as well, they said Monday.
(snip)
Now the defense says the conviction is inconsistent with the jurys larger acquittal. If the panel believed Steinle may have been killed by an accidental discharge, lawyers assert, Garcia Zarate should not be held responsible for possessing the weapon even though he threw it in the bay as Steinle lay dying.
Matt Gonzalez of the San Francisco Public Defenders Office, the lead attorney in the case, said he will appeal the charge at some point after Garcia Zarates Dec. 14 sentencing in Superior Court. Gonzalez said his appeal will contend jurors should have been told that momentary possession of a gun is not necessarily a crime.

Next will be a certified letter from Matt Gonzalez to the Steinle family stating proudly that he could not care less about their daughter being shot and killed in our city. Furthermore, he will add that he hopes the pain they feel will last a very long time.
These attorneys need to vanish, never to be heard from again.
That would send a message.
L
If he was shooting at a sealion, wouldnt that violate the Endangered Species Act?
If conviction is inconsistent with the jurys larger acquittal, then there is grounds for appeal to the California supreme court, the jury was confused and they get a retrial.
SF can choke on its own ****
Yeah, but illegal alien scum buckets trump endangered animals.
Anything less than a key to the city is racist/s.
No, no.
Next will be asking for a letter of apology from the Steinle family for being such bigots and a demand that they pay for the pain and suffering of the perp.
Why isn’t this illegal alien
murderer with the Feds .
Where is this monster ?
I hope they let him off.
I want to see 30-40 armed U.S. marshals take custody.
Throw in a tank or two too.
Since bouncing bullets into someone is now legal, perhaps this attorney should experience some legal activity.
So “gun laws are only for crackers”. K.
It would be Karma if the mayor and council members were shot by an illegal criminal.
“Yeah, but illegal alien scum buckets trump endangered animals.”
Do like they always did with baby seals when hunting pelts. Whack them in the head with a baseball bat.
Followed by a threat to sue them for a hate crime
Where is the Federal indictment. When that thug Rodney King was acquitted like this Mexican , bush indicted the police the next day. Why are we dilly dallying?
These demons with law degrees are as sick as their murderer buddy is.
He faces 15 years once the Feds nab him. Very good article here.
This is all horrifying and I can’t imagine the pain Steinle’s family is feeling.
The only positive side to this is that in 2020 Progressives everywhere will realize that this travesty undid all the damage they worked so hard to do to Trump and helped to re-elect him.
