The undocumented immigrant accused of murdering kate steinle is found not guilty. Jackie ward reports. Reporter this is where she was shot and killed. A couple of summers ago back in july of 2015. You can see a memorial in her honor has been set up with a lot of candles and flowers and american flags. The verdict came in yesterday and its shocking. It was unexpected after a four week trial and six days of deliberations. The jury found Jose Ines Garcia zarate not guilty of murder, not guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter but guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm. As an illegal immigrant from mexico, homeless, his status was and is part of a National Discussion regarding immigration and sanctuary city status. Public defender Matt Gonzalez argued that the gun Garcia Zarate was holding went off accidentally before a bullet ricocheted off the concrete pier striking steinle in the back. This is a huge win for the public defenders office. This case was a terrible tragedy. Our greatest fear is that mr. Garcia zarate would not be able to get a fair trial. The verdict that came in today was not one we were hoping for. Reporter steinles family was not in the courtroom when the verdict was announced. Kate steinles father jim told the chronicle after the verdict that he was, quote, saddened and shocked. He said justice was rendered but not served. Keep in mind the jury was told to keep all information, all thoughts about immigration, out of this case. He has remained in custody since the arrest. He is back in court on the 14th. He could get three years. That court date is a status hearing. Well then learn when he will be sentenced. And this morning on twitter, the leading thing trending now is boycott San Francisco to explain what that trend means, the columbia bugle a commit commentary on twitter says San Francisco failed kate steinle twice.

Tomorrow marks the oneyear anniversary of the tragedy and were here at the chapel of chimes in oakland, this Cremation Service offering its chapel as a place for people to reflect this weekend and remember the 36 victims of the oakland warehouse fire. It happened a year ago this weekend. Now, this isnt the only place thats doing that this weekend. In front of libby schaafs office there is a memorial outside her office where two artists who lost friends in the fire installed an art installation. Visitors are invited to leave notes there to the 36 people who were killed when that warehouse went up in flames during an illegal dance party in the fruitvale district. Now, at least 20 people mostly artists illegally lived in the warehouse. It was converted into this may into a maze of Living Spaces. It offered more affordable living compared to bay area rental prices. But prosecutors called it a death trap and the Master Tenant and a second in command there are facing manslaughter charges. Those two pled not guilty. Now, records show city police, firefighters and building inspectors visited the site before the fire. It was never shut down. The tragedy put a spotlight on shortcomings with the citys fire inspections and the housing crisis. The city did announce changes and promised to hire more building inspectors and according to an east bay times report, the city ultimately investigated more than 70 complaints of illegal housing at buildings like warehouses and storefronts. In addition, another 140 complaints for garages and basements and other structures illegally converted to housing. Here at chapel of the chimes, they are opening their doors to folks who want to come in from 8 30 to 5 p. M.

This morning neither the president nor white house is offering an answer on whether reports are true that secretary of state Rex Tillerson is going to lose his job in the coming weeks. The president and tillerson are set to meet today. President trump and secretary of state Rex Tillerson are scheduled to meet for lunch today. Yesterday, mr. Trump gave no indication the meeting would have anything to do with reports tillerson is about to be fired. Rex is here. Reporter cbs news has confirmed the white house is drafted and is circulating a plan for his exit. Replacing him with current cia director mike pompeo. White house spokesman Sarah Sanders when pressed on it also refused to give a yes or no answer on tillersons future. When the president loses confidence in someone, they will no longer serve in the capacity that they are in. Reporter the news follows months of growing tensions between tillerson and the president. Among the most highprofile disagreements, north korea. Shortly after tillerson announced the u. S. Was in diplomatic contact with pyongyang, mr. Trump tweeted out, quote, he is wasting his time. Theres also the report in july that tillerson called the president a moron in front of a group of officials. Still, the state department insists tillerson is continuing with business as usual. He kind of, you know, brushed this off today. He has heard these kinds of stories before. Reporter the state Department Says white house chief of staff john kelly called tillersons chief of staff on thursday and told her, quote, the rumors are not true. Several sources tell cbs that kelly has signed off on tillersons exit plan. If this shuffling does happen that would leave the opening for cia director mike pompeo.

Time has run out for congress to fund a Critical Healthcare bill. Now money set aside for almost 9 million children and pregnant women across the country is expected to run out. Kpix 5s Katie Nielsen is here to explain how this could impact many here in california. Katie. Reporter in the golden state almost two million children and pregnant women get their Health Insurance through the childrens Health Insurance program or chip. But if you look at this map from the Kaiser Family foundation, you can see california is projected to run out of those federal dollars to pay for chip by the end of the month. The issue isnt whether Congress Wants to continue the program. It has bipartisan support. But what they cant agree on is how to pay for it. Californias been getting almost 3 billion a year from the federal government to fund the program. Now, if congress cant decide on the funding soon, the state will have to pay. If chip goes away and thats going to blow a billiondollar hole in our state budget. Reporter chip started almost 20 years ago as a way to provide health care for working class and lowincome families many of whom arent always able to get employer insurance. California has more people in the program than any other state, more than a million children and half million pregnant women. We are close to the end of the year. How likely is it that congress will pass this before the holidays . Reporter congress will only work about 12 more days before the end of the month.

Um, and so this is what is at the heart of this plea deal that were expecting to hear more about in the coming minutes and hours. All right. Well be standing by. Thank you very much, jeff pegues. Paula reed is outside the Federal District court house in washington where flynn is scheduled to appear in an hour from now. Paula, good morning. Good morning. Now, there were several clues this plea deal was coming. Sources confirm to us that mike flynns attorneys had stopped cooperating with the white house and stopped sharing information with them about the investigation. Sources also told me that certain witnesses who were expected to testify about nike flynn before the grand jury had been told to hold off. They had been pushed bawe also attorn were two possible things he could be charged with. The first was violations of requirements that you have to register when youre lobbying on behalf of a foreign country. We know that at least half a does witnesses have gone before the grand jury here at federal court and testified about mike flynns lobbying work on behalf of turkey and russia. We knew that was a possible charge and it at peers here in this plea deal, special counsel has pushed aside that charge for now, and allowed him to only plead guilty to making false statements to the fbi about his meetings with Russian Ambassador sergey kislyak. Now this is an incredibly significant witness for robert mueller, because you have to remember, mike flynn would have been there for all the initial the discussions and conversations with the administration at the outset. So hes going to have a lot of very valuable information for the special counsel. Paula, thank you. Just to put this in perspective, the magnitude of it all. This is the second associated with the president , his Campaign ChairmanPaul Manafort has been indicted, now his National Security adviser Michael Flynn indicted as well. Jeff b jeff can you give us more detail . When you mention Paul Manafort and mike flynn and george papadopoulos. Heres why mike flynn is a key to this case. He straddled not only the administration but also the campaign. He was with President Trump during the campaign period. He was one of the president s top surrogates at that time. And then he transitioned in to the white house. And here is Something Else that is key with this investigation. During that period that he was transitioning into the white house, investigators discovered that he wasnt being he wasnt disclosing payments, that he was getting from r. T. Which is an arm or which is considered an arm of the russian government, its a cable channel that is funded by the russian government. It was just asked a couple of weeks ago to register as a foreign agent. Which it had to do. And now russia has responded to that. Ensuring that u. S. Television organizations in moscow follow suit and register as foreign agents. And so, mike flynn is a key witness because he straddled the campaign, and he straddles the first few weeks of the administration. And, there were these concerns that he wasnt disclosing payments, not only from russia and russian interests, business interests, but also payments tied to turkish companies, as well. All right, jeff, thank you. Our coverage continues on cbs this morning and on your local news on this cbs station. We will follow this story throughout the day on our 24 hour streaming network cbsn.

A jury finds an illegal immigrant not guilty of murdering kate steinle. The jurors demonstrated that, that regardless of the again the tremendous amount of negative publicity in this case before the facts are even known, before the evidence of the ricochet even came out, that he was able to get a fair trial. Why President Trump is calling the verdict disgraceful and this weekend marks one year since the deadly ghost ship warehouse fire. Vigils for the 36 victims. These are families that are working that often dont get healthcare coverage for kids because the employer may only cover the employee. How many children in california are set to lose Health Insurance if lawmakers dont act. First, we are continuing to follow breaking news this morning.

President trump meantime reacting to the verdict in the San Francisco murder trial that put a spotlight on sanctuary cities. The Hashtag BoycottSan Francisco is trending in response to the verdict. Jackie ward is live at San Franciscos pier 14 this morning with much more. Jackie. Reporter its a very emotional morning here and clearly across the country as this has continued to keep a conversation going about immigration, about sanctuary cities, but here its a very somber tone as kate steinle is being remembered. Memorial has been set up to pay tribute to her life here. The only charge her killer was found guilty of was for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was found not guilty of murder and not guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter. President trump said reporter last night the president wrote reporter keep in mind,the president is wrongly accusing Garcia Zarate of violence. Before shooting steinle he only faced drug charges. After the verdict was announced, public defender Matt Gonzalez took a shot at President Trump who had used steinles death to argue in favor of tightening 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 or disparage the result in this case. Reporter Garcia Zarate has remained in custody since his arrest. He could be sentenced to up to three years for that gun possession charge. He is back in court on the 14th but that is only a status hearing. We wont know when his sentencing date is until that Court Appearance on the 14th. On pier 14 in San Francisco, jackie ward, kpix 5.

Afternoon sunshine expected temperatures again in the 60s and clouds will be rolling through this weekend. Vaca camera showing a nice glow. Santa rosa 35 degrees and foggy. Some of the fog in the east bay and we are dealing with a new accident. Its certainly causing a backup of a slow commute for drivers.

At least 20 people mostly artists illegally lived in the warehouse converted to a maze of Living Spaces at cheap rent. Prosecutors called it a death trap. Two men are facing manslaughter charges. The tragedy put a short light on the shortcomings with the citys fire inspection and the housing crisis. Now, the aftermath of this fire is still coming to light. Its unclear if the city or if the owner of the building will face any legal repercussions. Reporting live in oakland, im the city is still dealing with the aftermath of that tragic fire here in oakland. Jessica flores, kpix 5. Of the gop tax overhaul bill. Analysis from a senators are back on the hill this morning ironing out details of the gop tax overhaul bill but new analysis from a Nonpartisan Group shows the plan would add one trillion dollars to the deficit over the next decade. Supporters say it will grow the countrys economy by adding more jobs. Opponents claim it only helps the rich at the expense of the middle class. At the center of the plan, slashing the corporate rate. Right now its at 35 . The bill would slash it to 20 . 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. You will not support any cut to medicare and social secure . I am not going to support any cuts to people who are on the program and need those benefits there it is he just told you he is going to cut Social Security that exchange with senator Bernie Sanders was over another part of the tax reform bill that would cut funding for healthcare and medicare. The senate is expected to vote on the bill sometime today. The president tweeted out this morning the credit ess is focused on that new tax bill a Health Insurance program that covers nine million lowincome children across the country is running out of money. Kpix 5s Katie Nielsen is as congress is focused on that new tax bill a Health Insurance program that covers 9 Million People in the country is running out of money. Katie nielsen reports from the newsroom. Reporter the childrens Health Insurance program or chip provides coverage for almost 2 million children and pregnant women across the state. If congress doesnt act soon, there wont be any money to keep paying for that program. Now, the issue isnt whether Congress Wants to continue chip. It does have bipartisan support. But what they cant agree on is how to pay for it. Chip provides insurance for about 9 Million People across the country. California has the largest enrollment of any state at 1. 3 Million People. Thats why california gets most of the money from the federal government, about 3 billion a year to pay for the program. If congress cant decide on the funding soon, the state will be responsible for paying. It means that a kid who with insurance would go to the Doctors Office with a sore throat and get a cheap antibiotic is going to end up in the emergency room making the taxpayers pay a whole hell of a lot more than they would otherwise.
