SANFRANCISCOPOLICEDEPARTMENT Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez is charged in the July slaying of 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle. By Paul Elias TheAssociatedPress SAN FRANCISCO Even if the suspect at the center of a national immigration de- bate accidentally fired the shot that killed a young woman on San Francisco's Pier 14, it may not help his case. A jury can still conclude that simply handling a semi-automatic pistol in a crowded tourist area was so reckless that he's guilty of second-degree murder rather than a less severe manslaughter allegation, legal experts said. "The defense in this case is deep in the hole," said Stuart Hanlon, a long-time criminal defense attorney. "The facts are really bad." Kate Steinle, 32, was shot in the back on July 1 as she walked with her father's arm around her shoulder, sightseeing along San Fran- cisco's popular waterfront. When Juan Francisco Lo- pez-Sanchez was arrested nearby an hour later, he told police he accidentally fired the fatal shot after finding the gun wrapped in a T-shirt under a bench. The gun belonged to a fed- eral agent who reported in June that it had been stolen from his car. Lopez-Sanchez is in the country illegally and had been deported five times previously. After serving a four-year federal sentence for illegal re-entry, Lopez- Sanchez was transferred to San Francisco's jail to face 20-year-old marijuana charges. He was released in April after prosecutors dropped the pot counts and despite a federal request to detain him until immigration au- thorities could pick him up. His release from jail sparked intense debate over a San Francisco sanc- tuary law that allows such requests to be ignored — a policy many other cities and counties have also adopted. Steinle's father traveled to Washington, D.C., after his daughter died in his arms to lobby lawmakers to abol- ish those policies Prosecutors are seeking a second-degree murder conviction against Lopez- Sanchez that would carry a minimum sentence of 15 years to life. The maximum penalty for an involuntary manslaughter conviction is four years. A judge is deciding whether to send Lopez-San- chez to trial on the murder charge after hearing three days of testimony this week. Ballistic experts testified during the hearing that the shot ricocheted off a con- crete walkway about four yards from the spot where Lopez-Sanchez was sitting before striking Steinle far- ther down the pier. Lawyers for Lopez-San- chez say the ricochet shows the shot was an accident. Legal experts said the ricochet will help the de- fendant's case, but he still needs to show he didn't act in a "horribly danger- ous way" to avoid a sec- ond-degree murder convic- tion, Stanford University law professor Robert Weis- berg said. "It certainly casts rea- sonable doubt on intent to kill," Weisberg said of the ricochet. Still, Weisberg said the mere handling of a gun in a crowded area popular with tourists "is a pretty good case for second-degree mur- der." William Portonova, a for- mer federal prosecutor now in private practice in Sacra- mento, called the ricochet a good piece of evidence but agreed Lopez-Sanchez may have difficulty showing he didn't act recklessly in han- dling the gun on the pier.
