Jose Ines Garcia Zarate has been charged by Federal authorities with new immigration and gun violations less than one week after a San Francisco jury acquitted him of murder for the shooting death of Kate Steinle.
Garcia Zarate was indicted Tuesday with two gun charges. A San Francisco jury convicted him of a state charge of felon in possession of a firearm after acquitting him of murder and assault for the July 1, 2015 shooting.
The state conviction carries a maximum sentence of three years in jail. He has been in jail since the day of the shooting. His public defender Matt Gonzalez said Garcia Zarate will ask a judge to toss out the state conviction. The shooting sparked a national debate over immigration Because Garcia Zarate was deported to his native Mexico five times before he was arrested a few hours after the shooting. source
Garcia Zarate said a gun he found accidentally fired when he picked it up.
