The AP’s Tweet On Kate Steinle’s Murderer Leaves Out One Convenient Detail

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate– the 5-time-deported illegal immigrant who killed Kate Steinle but was found NOT GUILTY of second degree murder– has been sentenced to three years in prison. If you recall, he only got in trouble for being a felon in possession of a weapon. However, he was credited with time served.

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, who has been in custody since shortly after the shooting, was credited for time served. He will be on parole for 48 months and will remain in custody to face federal charges.

The case sparked national debate over immigration reform and so-called Sanctuary Cities that shield illegals from deportation, of which San Francisco is one.

The felony possession was the only conviction to come out of Garcia Zarate’s trial in November. The jury decided Steinle’s death, the result of a ricochet bullet fired from roughly 100 feet away, was an accident.

At a hearing Friday, Garcia Zarate entered the courtroom wearing huge oversized bright orange sweatshirt and sweatpants. He was uncuffed and smiling as he shook the hand of each member of his defense team, including new attorney Tony Serra.

He was SMILING. Ugh. That burns me up inside. You have no idea. And it makes me even MORE upset to hear that “public defenders” are calling the sentence “discriminatory.” Um, this man murdered an innocent woman, and he WASN’T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

On Friday, Serra blasted the federal government for filing federal charges against Garcia Zarate after he was cleared of most state charges.

“Shame on the federal government, shame on the Trump administration. Shame on them in terms of bringing a retaliatory, vindictive prosecution,” Serra said. “So we will take those issues on.”

Cry me a river.

But here’s what REALLY gets me going. Look at the AP’s version of this story.

In the AP’s version, an immigrant was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and accidentally killed a woman. The end.

In reality, a CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN murdered a woman named KATE STEINLE.

Shame on the AP. I’m disgusted.

It’s sad indeed.
