Trial is set to begin this week for a Mexican man who set off a national immigration debate after he fatally shot 32-year-old Kate Steinle on a popular San Francisco pier.
The man acknowledges shooting Steinle in the back while she was walking with her father on the downtown pier July 1, 2015.
He claimed that the shooting was accidental as he was handling a handgun he found wrapped in a T-shirt under a bench on the pier when it accidentally fired. The handgun belonged to a Bureau of Land Management ranger who reported that it was stolen from his parked car in San Francisco a week before Steinle was shot.
Zarate had been deported five times and was homeless in San Francisco when he shot Steinle. He had recently completed a prison sentence for illegal re-entry when he was transferred to the San Francisco County jail to face a 20-year-old marijuana charge.
Need someone to do something about the wild west illegals.
