@roymunson3372 "In San Francisco it's legal for illegal immigrants to shoot and kill US citizens, just saying." No, it is not. and her name was Kate Steinle to address the other inaccuracy.
FACTS
The trial began October 23, 2017, with opening statements and a brief testimony from Steinle's father.[38] On subsequent days, jurors heard testimonies from eyewitnesses of the shooting, local investigators and the BLM ranger whose stolen gun was used in the crime.[12][39][40][41][42][43] Police revealed how they had lied to García Zárate in order to motivate him to confess to the shooting by saying that they had more evidence than had actually been collected at the time.[44] The prosecution contended he brought the stolen gun to the crime scene while the defense claimed the weapon was found under a Pier 14 seat.[45]
The defense called its first witness, the crime lab supervisor, after the prosecution rested its case after two weeks of testimony. Their case was that the shooting was accidental and occurred when García Zárate picked up the newly found gun.[46][47][48] Experts regarding video enhancement and Spanish translation were heard to bolster the claim of an accidental shooting and incomplete investigation.[49][50][51][52]
A key point of contention was the ease with which the weapon could have been fired accidentally. A supervising criminologist at the San Francisco Police Department crime lab testified that the gun was in excellent condition and would not have fired without someone pulling the trigger. The defense emphasized that the Sig Sauer pistol has no external safety mechanism to prevent accidental firing, and pointed to a record of even police trained in the use of Sig Sauer pistols having made accidental discharges. As examined by the criminologist, it was placed in single-action mode (where the hammer is cocked), rather than double-action mode (where a single pull of the trigger both cocks and releases the hammer). While it is typical for a gun that has been fired to be in single-action mode, a gun in single-action mode also requires less trigger pressure to fire. The defense argued that this made it more plausible that García Zárate could have pulled the trigger accidentally while picking up or unwrapping the bundled gun. Woychowski, a BLM ranger, testified that he always left the pistol in double-action mode, but that he typically loaded it in single-action mode, and couldn't definitively say that he had returned it to double-action mode before it was stolen.[43] The defense rested its case after four days.[53][54]
Prior to closing arguments, Judge James Feng agreed to a request by the prosecutor Diana Garcia to instruct the jury in first-degree murder as well as second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. "The jury will be instructed on multiple theories of homicide," said District Attorney's Office spokesman Alex Bastian.[55][56]
Jury deliberations began after 12 days of testimony, dozens of witnesses and two days of closing arguments on November 21, 2017.[57][58]
On November 30, 2017, after five days of deliberations, the jury acquitted García Zárate of all murder and manslaughter charges, but convicted him of being a felon in possession of a firearm.[59]

@kathyhays8701 i.e. Not Muslim.
IN SHORT
Sikhism evolved in times of religious persecution. Two of the Sikh gurus Guru Arjan and Guru Tegh Bahadur were tortured and executed by the Mughal rulers after they REFUSED TO CONVERT TO ISLAM.
MORE FULLY
Sikhism (/ˈsɪkɪzəm/; Punjabi: ਸਿੱਖੀ), or Sikhi[3] (Sikkhī, pronounced [ˈsɪkːʰiː], from Sikh, meaning a "disciple", "seeker," or "learner"), is a Indian monotheistic religion that originated in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent around the end of the 15th century.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
Sikhism is one of the youngest of the major world religions and the world's fifth largest organized religion, as well as being the world's ninth-largest overall religion.[11] The fundamental beliefs of Sikhism, articulated in the sacred scripture Guru Granth Sahib, include faith and meditation on the name of the one creator, divine unity and equality of all humankind, engaging in selfless service, striving for justice for the benefit and prosperity of all and honest conduct and livelihood while living a householder's life.[12][13][14] As of the early 21st century, there are about 25 million Sikhs.[15]
Sikhism is based on the spiritual teachings of Guru Nanak, the first Guru (1469–1539),[16] and the nine Sikh gurus that succeeded him. The Tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, named the Sikh scripture Guru Granth Sahib as his successor, terminating the line of human Gurus and making the scripture the eternal, religious spiritual guide for Sikhs.[17][18][19] Sikhism rejects claims that any particular religious tradition has a monopoly on Absolute Truth.[20][21]
The Sikh scripture opens with Ik Onkar (ੴ), its Mul Mantar and fundamental prayer about One Supreme Being (God).[22][23] Sikhism emphasizes simran (meditation on the words of the Guru Granth Sahib),[24] that can be expressed musically through kirtan or internally through Nam Japo (repeat God's name) as a means to feel God's presence. It teaches followers to transform the "Five Thieves" (lust, rage, greed, attachment, and ego). [25] Guru Nanak taught that living an "active, creative, and practical life" of "truthfulness, fidelity, self-control and purity" is above the metaphysical truth, and that the ideal man is one who "establishes union with God, knows His Will, and carries out that Will".[26] Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh Guru, established the political/temporal (Miri) and spiritual (Piri) realms to be mutually coexistent.[27]
Sikhism evolved in times of religious persecution. Two of the Sikh gurus – Guru Arjan (1563–1605) and Guru Tegh Bahadur (1621–1675) – were tortured and executed by the Mughal rulers after they refused to convert to Islam.[28][29] The persecution of Sikhs triggered the founding of the Khalsa as an order to protect the freedom of conscience and religion,[28][30] with qualities of a "Sant-Sipāhī" – a saint-soldier.[31][32] The Khalsa was founded by the last Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh.
