Other State Kate Steinle’s Killer Has Been Acquitted

Conviction overturned for undocumented immigrant charged in death of Kate Steinle

A California appeals overturned the lone conviction of Jose Ines Garcia-Zarate in the 2015 shooting death of Kate Steinle in San Francisco.

abcnews.go.com

"A jury acquitted Jose Ines Garcia-Zarate, 46, in 2017 of first degree murder, second degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and assault with a semiautomatic firearm for his role in the death of Kate Steinle.

Garcia-Zarate was convicted, however, on the charge of felon in possession of a firearm.

During jury deliberations, jury members asked the court for the definition of possession and if there was a time requirement for possession. The defense argued during the appeal that the trial court failed to instruct the jury that it could acquit Garcia-Zarate because he only possessed the gun for a moment.


On Friday, the First Appellate Court of Appeals in California, in a 3-0 decision, agreed with that defense."

He's already been acquitted of the killing - but now, he's acquitted of the "felon in possession" charge.
