A California state appeals court overturned a conviction against an illegal alien who shot and killed Kate Steinle in San Fransisco in 2015.
Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate, who had been deported to Mexico five times, was acquitted in November 2017 of first and second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and assault with a semi-automatic weapon. He was convicted of just one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
On Friday, the 1st District Court of Appeal in San Francisco overturned that conviction because the judge failed to instruct the jury on one of Garcia-Zarate’s defenses. Garcia-Zarate remains in custody and is now facing federal gun charges
