His public defender asking the public to not jump to conclusions. "In my experience many years doing this, never have I had a case where the fact didn't turn out differently than initially received," said Welch. Garcia was convicted on explosives charges in 2012, and released in 2019. "We are looking into all of the facts at this time including history, what happened in this case and will deal with that when the appropriate time comes," said Welch.San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said, considering the incidents of Sunday night, and Garcia's history, his officers removed a dangerous man from the streets.
