Kate Steinle a 32-year-old was shot and killed in July 2015. This happened when the man, Garcia Zarate found a firearm and not knowing it was a weapon shot it, hitting Kate Steinle and killing her as she walked with her father to San Francisco pier 14. The gun used was a Sig Sauer .40-caliber handgun, the same weapon had been stolen four days earlier from an off-duty Bureau of Land Management Ranger’s car. There was no evidence found on whether or not he stole the weapon. The murder, as Garcia's defence puts it, “attorney said the shooting was accidental and the bullet ricocheted off the ground and traveled about 80 feet before hitting Steinle.” Because of this a women past away that year and so started as well a major controversy that would question and grab the audience's attention.
Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was a 45 year old man who had an outstanding criminal record, which consisted of who had a record of seven felony convictions and five previous deportations. Even though he knew he had a lot of crimes in his past, due the Courtesy of American justice according to the constitution though not a citizen they gave him the entire to having the full benefit of the due process of law conferred on American citizens – legal counsel at every step of the proceedings, an attentive judge, a jury of his peers, and the expectation that the government must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. This was strongly seen as the wrong action as Ms.Steile would not have this right as she was no longer alive to defend herself. As of this month Garcia Zarate was acquitted of murder and involuntary manslaughter charges, as well as assault with a deadly weapon. This trial is one that many take strongly knowledge as there is a controversy on whether or not he got away with murder and considering he is also an undocumented immigrant this lead to a nationwide debate over immigration policy.
The case involving the young woman’s killing has spurred intense debate, Trump administration warnings to suspected sanctuary jurisdictions, lawsuits and proposed legislation on how U.S. immigration enforcement might proceed. This is important as it seems he is basing this one person on the entire population of immigrants and using this as an example to enforce what should be done.
Though this accident was tragic I don't not believe this should be the basis for judging the major population of immigrants as not all people are the same.
I do believe that our president has taken this persons character and prejudged a major part of that population. He made people think that just because one person did it and committed a crime it means that the entire population is capable of doing this exact thing. I do believe this man is innocent because it was all of his fault. He had found a gun and not acquired it to kill the lady. I do believe this was unintentional and he should not be charged, though I am very sorry for the families loss.
