'LAST WARNING': Illegal immigrant acquitted in shooting death catches another big break
The federal weapons charges had been pending for five years amid concerns about Garcia-Zarate's ability to stand trial. Two doctors have diagnosed him with schizophrenia, but the Bureau of Prisons"restored the defendant to competency" last June, U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria said. Messages are seen on a poster with a photo of Kate Steinle at a memorial at Pier 14 on Friday, December 1, 2017, in San Francisco, Calif.
As part of the guilty plea to federal weapons charges, Garcia-Zarate admitted that he was on the San Francisco pier on July 1, 2015, and in possession of a pistol loaded with eight rounds. "If you return to this country again and you are back in front of me, I will not spare you. Let this be your last warning: do not return to this country," Judge Chhabria said at the hearing on Monday. Fox News's Michael Lundin and the Associacted Press contributed to this report. and on Twitter: @KincaidBest.
