Illegal immigrant charged in Kate Steinle death accuses government of ‘vindictive’ prosecution

[The Prof]

The illegal immigrant accused in the shooting death of Kate Steinle is charging the federal government with “vindictive prosecution” and collusion with city and state authorities, and using President Trump's tweets and public statements by him and his attorney general to make his case.

In a filing this week week in federal court in San Francisco, lawyers for Jose Garcia-Zarater demanded that that the federal government hand over its communications with local law enforcement agencies — the San Francisco police, district attorney’s office and sheriff’s office — to let him prove collusion and double jeopardy.

Attorney J. Tony Serra accused Mr. Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions of using his client as a political punching bag and said their words suggest that Mr. Garcia-Zarate is being unjustly prosecuted.

“This case was highly publicized, both locally and nationally,” he wrote in the motion filed in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California.

The gun charges do seem to be close to double jeopardy - but they are based on violating different statutes and it is probably permissible (yet rare) to be charged with both state and federal charges for the same criminal act(s).
