▷Jose Ines Garcia Zarate Found Not Guilty in Murder of Kate Steinle

A San Francisco jury has found Jose Ines Garcia Zarate not guilty of murdering Kate Steinle in a case that attracted national attention to San Francisco’s sanctuary city policy. Zarate’s attorneys argued that he accidentally killed Steinle on San Francisco’s Embarcadero when he picked up an object wrapped in a towel that he didn’t know was a gun and it fired. Zarate had been deported five times and was wanted for a sixth deportation when Steinle was killed.
