A jury jury in San Francisco found an illegal immigrant from Mexico not guilty of murder, writes "Voice of America".

President Donald Trump used this case as an argument in favor of the need for tough measures to combat illegal immigration.

In 2015, José Inés García Zarate was charged with the murder of Kate Stainley. At the time of the assassination, Garcia Zarate had already been 5 deported from the country and should have been sent to Mexico for the sixth time.

He also ended up in federal prison for illegally entering the United States.

The jury found Garcia Zarate innocent of first-degree murder and unintentional murder, but guilty of possession of weapons.

Garcia Zarate shot Steinley when she and her father were walking along the pier past the bench on which he was sitting.

The prosecutor's office insisted that the accused was indulging with a pistol, twisting it on his finger, and deliberately shot to get into someone from the passers-by.

The defense insisted that the shot was accidental: Garcia Zarate found a pistol wrapped in cloth under the bench, and when he picked it up, a shot rang out.

The lawyers led the testimony of a ballistic expert, who concluded that the bullet had ricocheted off the ground and hit the victim in the back.

The gun was stolen from the car of an employee of the Bureau of Land Management. Garcia Zarate was found not to be involved in the theft.

During the election campaign and after his election, Trump repeatedly mentioned this case as an example of another murder committed by an illegal immigrant.

He used this crime as an argument in favor of building a wall on the border with Mexico and signing a decree depriving refugee cities of federal funding.

After justifying trump, he sharply criticized the decision:

“Kate Stinely's killer returned repeatedly to Obama's poorly guarded border, always committing crimes and violence, but this information was never used in court, and his acquittal is a complete travesty of justice. BUILD A WALL!” he wrote in Twitter.

Trump called the verdict "shameful" and insisted that such decisions made American citizens "angry" with illegal immigration.

Authorities in refuge cities refuse to enforce federal immigration laws that may lead to deportation. These cities include San Francisco's well-known liberal mores.
