It walks the fine line with double jeopardy. But it’s been done before in cases where a biased jury let a murderer walk for political reasons. The Lemrick Nelson case in the Crown Heights Pogrom comes to mind. As do the murders of civil rights workers.
Federal prosecutors have a much better track record. And they can move forward without being tainted by the political agendas that lead jurors to side with murderers that have the right identity politics, whether it’s Sharpton’s supporters, the KKK or La Raza.
And it would send a clear message that California’s racist left is not above the law. And that American lives matter.

To the SJW’s an Illegal Alien is more important than a white woman.
Give the scumbag life just for chronic border jumping.
No justice. No peace.
This is a travesty. Even if federal government can’t pursue this course of action, put North Korean type sanctions on California. Starve them into submission.
PHenry, you think they’d pay any attention to us if we took to the streets yelling, “no justice! No Peace!”?
The Feds could prosecute based on a civil rights violation.
If I killed someone because the gun ‘accidently’ fired, I’d get charged and convicted of negligent homicide or whatever that statute that State has.
Unless I was not in the country legally, I guess.
Imagine the screaming if the feds went after a civil rights violation, a brown person violating the rights of a white person.
Of course the voters will respond in November, and likely would tend toward what is right rather than what is screamed.
Saw this on one of the lawyer shows (don’t remember which one) where a juror was bribed to throw a case. They were able to retry the scum because double-jeopardy did not apply. Defendant was never in jeopardy because of the bribed juror. If these 12 and possibly the judge and prosecutor were filling a political agenda, he should be retried in federal court and all involved jailed.
Any legal scholars out there ?
^^^ O.J. style.
I think this case is better suited for some vigilante justice.
“KATE STEINLE’S KILLER SHOULD FACE FEDERAL CHARGES”
Nope. Dump his ass over the border with a trench in his head. He’s not a US citizen. Why have the tax payers pay for this piece of shit.
Who should be charged in Federal Court for STEINLE’S murder is SF’s Chief of Police and the City Council.
It’s hard to argue with the guy that said, kill the lawyers first.

While we’re deporting him just kick him out of the plane over the Pacific. Maybe give him a shot of tequila first.
@J B Books – IANAL, but a to the best of my knowledge in all U.S. states a finding that a jury was tampered with results in the declaration of a mistrial and no verdict is recorded. From a double jeopardy perspective, it is as though the first trial never happened. Although I’m less certain about it, I also believe that such a result cannot be appealed.
@old racist white woman. Not ever.
They’d label us white supremacists and pray for an
Incident. Shit, local media here is still doing the happy dance about Charlottesville because of the action
Of one knucklehead.
Just heard on Savage radio show, that 3 of the jurors are illegal alien immigrants themselves. How does that work? They shouldn’t be in the country either, and yet they are deciding legal cases? And getting paid for it too? They don’t know the laws of this land. The extent of their knowledge is how to go around the laws, not comply with them.
Justice will prevail somebody out there will find a gun shot him and say opps it went off by itself.🤔
Can federal charges be filed?
Where’s the DOJ…….or does he have to be an illegal immigrant MS13 murderer before Sessions takes a look?
The diseased minded progs are happy this beaner got off because it makes Trump angry. That’s how sick those motherfuckers really are. They jury let a guilty man off because they’re minds were warped by SF identity politics. If a white guy had done the exact same crime, his ass would be on death row (but not really death row) in San Quinten right now.
Just hump his dirty ass to Guantanamo as a security threat!
Toby; illegals can be LAWYERS in calif!!!! And politicians, firemen, police, doctors…..
@Uncle Al & Toby Miles
Thanks. Between the two of you it sounds like this trial was so FUBAR that the Feds could just go arrest the pendejo and it would seem the defense attorneys were probably also in on it so nail them as well. This leads to my favorite expression for solving a problem-“shoot’em all and let God sort them out.”
Looks like the DOJ just issued a warrant for this guy.

It happened with the LA cops after a state jury acquitted them for beating Rodney King. Then King George the first (GHWB41) put the Feds on them and I think 3 were convicted of civil rights violations.
I’ve been looking for a confirming story on 3 illegals on the jury. No luck.
What we need now is a benign dictatorship, if there is such a thing, but the Media outta be shut down for a year or so, so we can get back to some form of reality. The media are obviously anti American, anti President Trump, and living in a bubble of their own. The bubble is busting, they have more interest in their dicks than they do in reporting the news, which they are skewing anyway. Most of them are homosexuals and 99.9 percent of them are
left wing socialists. Tell me I’m wrong!
He needs to be followed by someone practiced in The Four Esses:
Suppress
Shoot
Shovel
Silence
Add a fifth s, a huge sigh of relief.
How could the 3 jurors be illegals; jurors are selected from the voter registrations. Oh, that’s right, Calif. Never mind.
It may well be that this verdict will turn out to be the match that lights the fuse.
If AG Sessions has ANY balls at all (which I doubt very much) he’d issue arrest warrants for every scum politician in charge of sanctuary cities and states. I’d start with hangings in town squares to boost moral!
nothing will happen with this …. come tomorrow this is yesterday’s news
who’s to blame? … face it, we are
Illegal jurors? It wouldn’t surprise me if the fukin’ judge and prosecutor were illegals as well!
joe6pack- I did hear that on Savage’s radio show, which comes out of SF. I’ll see if I can find confirmation of it. I didn’t make it up but I guess it is possible someone else did, and I wound up passing it along.
Toby, I don’t doubt you heard it. Before I start repeating it I’m hoping to confirm it.
joe6pack-
““We have at least three of the jurors who are natives of other countries,” Matt Gonzalez, an attorney for the defendant, said after court.”
http://www.sfexaminer.com/jury-selected-trial-undocumented-man-accused-killing-kate-steinle/
That’s probably where the statement originally came from. I don’t know about their legal status, but I’ll try to find out.
joe6pack-
The only qualifications, as to the status of the jurors’ immigration status, is that they are ‘naturalized,’ which would make them citizens. I’ll keep looking into it, for me, not necessarily you, as I’d like to definitively know. If I learn otherwise, I’ll post it here.
