By the outcome here a lot of folks that we had talked to and sort of polled unofficially had really thought that zarate would be found guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter and the two lesser charges but he was found not guilty on all of those murder charges, only guilty on the firearms possession which of course carries a very light sentence and he will only have to serve half of that time after credit for time served. He is going to be out in no time. I do want to mention that there is a warrant out for his arrest by the u. S. Marshals office.

It has really been an an emotional case here. Testimony from steinles father who described on the stand how his daughter fell to the ground after being shot i

The attorney starts to read what did they mean by that. What are they looking for . Then you read into it. They are heading for not guilty if you are the da. Or if you are defense now we wanted a clarification. We had our minds made up. He wanted to delineate what the weapon was for example. Or what Great Bodily Injury is. You
