Jury Starts Deliberation on Kate Steinle Trial That Sparked Immigration Debate

Jurors on Tuesday started weighing the fate of a Mexican man who was in the United States illegally when he shot a woman on a San Francisco pier in a killing that stirred up another fierce national debate on immigration.

No verdict was reached as of 4 p.m. Tuesday. The jury reconvenes at 9 a.m. Wednesday, and court closes at noon.

The jury of six men and six women will consider dueling arguments that Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was either a hapless, homeless man who killed Kate Steinle in a freak accident or a calculated murderer intent on playing a sick game.

Returning to Southern Florida on Friday, I've run into four Cubans. Only one—a discharged US Marine who served in Afghanistan—spoke English.

What kind of Justice is served when "a jury of peers" is selected in California? (Where drivers licenses are handed out like candy?)

When the CA legislation and Governor enacted their recent law shielding alien criminals from DHS/ICE, did they hold a celebratory dance upon Ms. Stienle’s grave?

Mad dogs need to be put down.

Thanks nickcarraway.

Zarate was either a hapless, homeless man who killed Kate Steinle in a freak accident or a calculated murderer intent on playing a sick game.

The second one, and his sick game is, let's see if I can get away with murder.

Sodom San Francisco must be destroyed for there to be justice and lasting peace
