SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A Mexican man acquitted of murder in the shooting death of a San Francisco woman that sparked a national immigration debate was sentenced Friday to time served for illegal gun possession.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Samuel Feng also denied a defense request to grant Jose Ines Garcia Zarate a new trial for his conviction of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Garcia Zarate will now be taken into U.S. custody to face two federal gun possession charges.
The San Francisco Sheriff’s Department said it would hold Garcia Zarate in jail until U.S. marshals pick him up. His lawyer, Tony Serra, said he expects the transfer this weekend.

How about discharging a firearm in the city limits?
Ten years in Leavenworth is better than nothing.
Methinks his days are numbered!
“Methinks his days are numbered!”
Yeah, try and convict him, and put him in Leavenworth in the gen pop! Problem solved! Then ship the corpse back to Mexico.
AP got the title to the article wrong. I think they meant Illegal Alien.
calling Elijah Cummings, Brian Schatz and Elizabeth Warren, oh this doesn’t count
Funny that Kate Steinle’s name doesn’t appear until paragraph 5. Jackasses.
That should read “Illegal Alien” not “Immigrant.”
“The San Francisco Sheriff’s Department said it would hold Garcia Zarate in jail until U.S. marshals pick him up.”
Why? What kind of message does that send to the immigrant community? Are we REALLY that cruel to people who come here minus a bit of documentation, AFTER they’ve been cleared of a crime? What kind of country are we? Hopefully the Sheriff there will be out of a job soon.
(the above is what I’d say if I were trolling a fake news site)
Then ship the corpse back to Mexico.
With a shipping bill....
Next time you commit a murder make sure its in California and tell them you are here illegally.
You’re home free.
And all this time I thought all those good socialists hated guns.
But since it’s an ILLEGAL ALIEN that had one, all bets are off.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with both of you. From the day he crossed the border into this country for the first time, Garcia Zarate was a CRIMINAL Alien.

Or just maybe a toe tag would be sufficient, just so long as it’s quick so the corpse doesn’t stink up the place!
