Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, who was acquitted of all homicide charges in the shooting death of Kate Steinle in the sanctuary city of San Francisco, was given credit for three years ‘time served’ and probation as a convicted felon in possession of a firearm on Friday.
However, U.S. Marshals will take Zarate into custody imminently in order to face new charges in federal court. As reported by Fox News:

The left hates our citizens and would rather defend a killer than the American woman he murdered.
Make no mistake, this is the Democrat platform.

I read that it was an accidental shooting, so it's shouldn't be surprising that he wasn't convicted of murder. Not that facts actually matter to any of you.

The gun in question is apparently A double action Sig 40 cal open hammer design that requires the hammer to be pulled back in the cock position to require minimum trigger pull to fire it. The officer it was stolen from stated that he never kept it in that position. It is literally impossible for a Sig to accidentally fire if the hammer is not pulled back into the cocked position.

In his cross examination of Woychowski, Gonzalez attempted to establish whether the gun had been set in single-action mode or double-action mode. A gun in double-action mode requires extra pressure on the trigger to cock the hammer and fire the bullet. A gun in single-action mode already has the hammer cocked and requires less trigger pressure.
