Before the killing, Garcia Zarate had recently completed a prison sentence for illegal re-entry to the U.S. when he was transferred to San Francisco to face a 20-year-old marijuana charge.
Jose Inez Garcia Zarate was in the U.S. illegally when Kate Steinle, 32, was fatally shot along a crowded Pier 14 where she was walking with her father and a family friend. He faces deportation and U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria told him to never return to the U.S.
"If you return to this country again and you are back in front of me, I will not spare you. Let this be your last warning: do not return to this country," Chhabria said before sentencing Garcia Zarate to the time he has already served. The maximum sentence on the firearms charges was 10 years. Prosecutors agreed to the sentence of time served plus three years of probation. Garcia Zarate's lawyers wanted a shorter sentence so he could apply any time left over in case the judge in Texas imposes additional prison time.
Garcia Zarate"feels horrible about what happened, and that he's very sorry and apologizes," his lawyer, Mike Hinckley, said in court Monday.
