Think her Dad will ..... well, you get the idea.
Yeah I’d be doing some hunting in Central America
Looks like a P239.

If only it had a safety for that 14 pound “hair” trigger.It really does.
Fox News reports that theUS DOJ working on charges for this illegal alien, after his prison term they will deport him.
Heck no, illegals are a protected species.If what is outlined in the article is correct, that the bullet ricocheted prior to hitting her then I don't think murder is a fair charge but involuntary manslaughter would be.
I can't help but think what would have happen had the roles been reversed. If she picked up a gun that she found and it went off, killing an illegal alien with an already growing criminal history. Think she would walk?
Let's see how he lasts in the California Penile System.
Big deal. They've already done that 5 times before.
I would definitely contribute to his legal defense fund (if needed).Just further proof that being a US Citizen is pretty meaningless now. When non-citizens have more rights than the citizen trouble will eventually follow. When citizens are forced to obey every law and tax while non-citizens are not, trouble will follow. It's just a matter of time. Would anybody here vote to cnvict Mr. Steinle is he committed an act of revenge or justice?

I normally celebrate the fact that I'm a simpleton, but with something like this, I get frustrated.
Why was he being judged by 12 of his peers? Isn't that right reserved for citizens or is that a God given right protected by the Constitution?
You answered you own question in what you quoted.
"When non-citizens have more rights than the citizen trouble will eventually follow."
Yeah, I realize that.
What I would have like to seen was this guy sent to prison, at the very least, when he was arrested for the death. Then, let Mexico beg for/demand his release like the US does when one of our citizens is detained in a high profile situation.

Looks like he's in Fed custody now
Death penalty would be preferable.His punishment should be that he his forced by ball and chain to spend the rest of his life with Nancy Pelosi and be forced to listen to her drivel 24 hours a day.
The peer thing has always cracked me up though. It doesn't seem like anybody really gets convicted by their peers. Do we really think 12 illegal aliens from Central or So. America should be on a jury, or would convict him.
The warrant issued by the U.S. District Court for the western district of Texas says Zarate was sentenced in Texas on May 12, 2011 to 46 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for illegally re-entering the U.S.
The warrant says the terms of the supervised release, which began March 26, 2015, barred Zarate from committing another crime and from possessing a firearm. He was still bound to the terms of that release when Steinle was shot and killed. Though he was acquitted of murder Thursday, he was found guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
he is a damned ILLEGAL ALIEN! What is this supervised release BS???
I don't think it was murder. Sounds a whole lot more like manslaughter or negligence. Which is funny because until yesterday I had not hear about a ricochet, I just thought he shot her in the back.
Actually, it shouldn't matter if it ricocheted off of anything or not, if you aim a firearm in a crowd full of people and the bullet ends up hitting someone, you should be found responsible. How about charges of discharging a firearm within city limits, or discharging a firearm while under the influence since he admitted to being high on drugs at the time. A whole laundry lists of reasons he should have found guilty of murder.
Try driving piss drunk or high on drugs then ricocheting off a couple of light poles or buildings before you smash into an innocent pedestrian or oncoming car and cause a death. Although you did not "intend to kill somebody" that day, there would be consequences. Especially if you were already a known POS that has been in trouble with the law already.
Part of the problem is if the police / D A's HAD started with the proper charge they would have been crucified in the media.I don't disagree but when you look at the elements of a murder that have to be met this was not the proper charge.
It’s looking more and more like the prosecution spiked the case.

Overzealous, inept, or did they spike it? Seems like they not only failed to charge correctly they failed to make their case. Of course this is only one account and none of us were there on the pier or in the court room for that matter. Statements such as these are the reasoning behind me thinking this case was deliberately thrown:I think they got focused on one charge and not anything else. Much like other cases we have seen where the charges are overkill and not reasonable. In this case as soon as they heard ricochet they should have went to any other charge. The reason in NC that you see so many charges of awdwitksi and not attempted murder is because of intent being really hard to establish and prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors do not like it when officers charge it as attempted murder and it usually gets changed.
