kicking off a national debate on illegal immigration and sanctuary city policies...kron4's maureen kelly says, the immigration status of the accused was hardly mentioned during opening arguments. matt gonzalezdefense attorney 119-149201 std201 std119-149 attorneydefense matt gonzalez matt gonzalezdefense attorney 119-149201 stdthe hallway outside courtroom 13 was a media circus despite the fact that no cameras were allowed in court.that's because the killing of 32 year old kate steinle became part of the 2016 presidential campaign..used as an example by now president donald trump as why sancutary cities like san francisco are bad policy. a few months before the shooting jose garcia zarateorginally known by his his alias juan lopex sanchez , had been released from custody from san francisco jail without anyone alerting the feds.but his immigration status was not mentioned by assistant district attorney diana garcia who started off her opening statements by showing the jury the murder weapon used in the killing of stienle. the ada said that garcia zarate pointed the gun

at kate steinle's direction and pulled the trigger.altho ugth she admitted there was no eyewitness who saw him shoot steinle and there is no evidence that he was the one who stole the gun from a car belonging to a federal park ranger, other than he was wearing baggy clothes that could have concealed the gun. he also tested positive for gunshot residue.she said the 54 year old started off his interview after being taken into custody by lying about where he was until police lied to him saying they'd already found the gunwhich didn't reallly happen until later. his attorney says the gun was wrapped in a rag and it went off when his client picked it up.it's not unusual for police to lie it's a tactic it's also not unusual for people not to want to admit where they were when they think they are in trouble.he eventually did and he told them ti was an accidentthat's all it was. that must have been hard to watch, do you want to comment the mother and brother of kate steinle were both in the courtroom but didn't talk to the media and walked out
