WNU Editor: This is why the wall is going to be eventually built. My brother lives south of San Francisco, and I go there every year. Walking along the pier is something that I do all the time when I am there, and I am well aware of where Kate Steinle was murdered. It is also a case that I have been following very closely. I am also aware of the high homeless population that is there, and how they can be threatening. When I heard this verdict last night .... I just shook my head. This suspect is very dangerous, and even though he will be deported .... everyone knows that he will just come back and commit more crimes. But even though one can make the case that this suspect is insane, the real insanity label belongs to this jury. What the hell were they thinking?
