So our President and, oddly enough, our Attorney General have spoken incorrectly about the verdict in the case of a killing of a San Francisco woman by an illegal alien and the implications. Let us clear somethings up that President Tiny Hands conduses.
- The verdict was not disgraceful (orange arrow). The one charge they didn't get was murder and it was by far the least probably of the charges. The bullet was discharged and then ricochetted from the concrete to strike a woman in the back. It's hard to show that a single ricichetted bullet was murder and even harder when the defendant has never been violent ( old felonies were almost all drug charges) and he has an explanation for the gun. A fantastic background story of the misrepresentation of this case comes from a conservative writer at Red State.
- The jury makes it's choice based on evidence presented not on the fact he was a 7 time felon or Mexican or circumcised or you hated him. That is how trials work in America.
- The criminal was NOT EXONERATED (red arrow). He was convicted of a felony gun possession (a California gun control law, FYI!) and other charges.
- He is being turned over to Immigration because he has an outstanding warrant. Warrants are upheld, yes even in "Sanctuary" cities. The only thing sanctuary cities disallow is random immigration checks and then mandatory turn over of alliens to the INS without a warrant (for non-felons). That makes the Police Forces safe for civilians, victims, witnesses or misdemeanor offenders.
