Jose Ines Garcia Zarate found not guilty in Kate Steinle murder trial.

To be deported. Again.

As you know, Trump made a gigantic BFD about this case while campaigning. Naturally his supporters nationwide are furious about this local case. And as you know this bears heavily on sanctuary cities and the whole attitude toward illegal immigration and even the language about immigration.

Apparently jurors were not allowed to hear about his previous conviction, nor about his previous deportations. Given all that publicity, where and how they find enough jurors sufficiently ignorant about his case is another of those weird mysteries.

I'm imagining his defense describing a Barney Fife moment on the pier. "I saw this thing that looked like a big fat ugly gun so I carefully picked it up with two fingers and while it dangled in the air BANG it fired by itself."

Kate's Law legislation sits on Mitch McConnell's desk waiting for him to put it on the Senate's agenda since last July.


What do you think he will do?

What can you say? San Fiasco.

Sessions wants him on civil rights violations.

Let me guess: a jury of Hispanics. And other assorted white haters.
