Over at the bay bridge toll plaza, a few cars backing up in the cash lanes. 10 minutes into San Francisco. The verdict of the trial of the man who murdered kate steinle, he was acquitted on murder and manslaughter. He was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Kpix 5s andria borba reports. Reporter six days of deliberations in the case of Jose Ines Garcia zarate ended with a hug between the suspect and his public defender Matt Gonzalez. Two years after kate steinle was killed on pier 14, the only guilty verdict for zarate was for being a felon in possession of a firearm. The verdict that came in today was not one we were hoping for. Reporter public defender Matt Gonzalez argued that the gun went on accidentally before a bullet ricocheted off the concrete pier and struck steinle in the back. It was the first time a ricochet bullet case was charged as a firstdegree murder in San Francisco. This case made its way to a trial courtroom for a reason. It made it its way to a trial courtroom because at every stage, there was sufficient evidence necessary to go to court and go to trial. Reporter the gun used to kill her was the secondary weapon of an employee of the bureau of land management. It was stolen from his car in San Francisco where it was not properly secured. Zarate said he found the gun wrapped in a tshirt under a bench and admitted he was responsible for steinles death. Outside the courtroom, the jurors didnt speak to the throngs of reporters covering the case which sparked a National Debate over sanctuary cities and immigration. In the courtroom, the judge sealed the names and addresses of those jurors. Although this case was a terrible tragedy, our greatest fear is that mr. Garcia zarate wouldnt get a fair trial. Reporter President Trump used her death to tighten immigration policy. They may themselves soon avail themselves of the presumption of innocence and beyond a reasonable doubt standard and so i would ask them to reflect on that before they comment on disparage the result in the case. Reporter andria borba, kpix 5. The steinle family was not in the courtroom. Kates father told the chronicle were shocked, saddened and shocked, no other way you can coin it. Justice was rendered, not served. A uchastings law professor told us the big challenge for jurors was to agree on what was happening inside the suspects mind. It is always very difficult in cases like this to figure out what the defendant was thinking. Whenever were dealing with intent you have to imagine what another person wanted or thought or expected and since we are not that person, that is very, very hard to do. The verdict drew swift condemnation from the president and attorney general jeff sessions. We reached out to the San Franciscos mayors office. They told us, no comment. A final vote is expected today on the republican tax bill in the u. S. Senate. But the exact details of the plan havent been made public. At the center of the senate plan a huge cut to the Corporate Tax rate. Republicans say it will help u. S. Workers. The reduction in rates on businesses means that they have more to invest in their businesses and one of the by products of that is, it goes into higher wages for their employees. But democrats said it is only one step of a longer range gop plan that will harm the middle class with cuts to social safety net programs. You will not support any cuts to social security, medicare or medicaid. Do i have that word from you . I am not going to support any cuts to people who are on the program and need the expenditures. There it is he just told you according to a new analysis by the nonpartisan joint commission on taxation, the tax plan will add a trillion dollars to the deficit over the next ten years. That projection has Republican Leaders scrambling to find ways to satisfy the concerns of senators worried about increasing the national debt. One possible solution would be to raise the Corporate Tax rate over time. That option is not likely to be popular with house leaders or President Trump. If the bill does pass, the senate plan would have to be reconciled with the house version passed earlier this month.
