"The prosecutor referred to Steinle as a "vibrant life" taken too soon but otherwise did not dwell on the victim in a closing argument that lasted about an hour.

Instead, she painted a picture of a man who hid a firearm in his baggy clothes, went to a pier filled with tourists and whirled about on a stool for more than 20 minutes before shooting it at Steinle's back.

"He knew exactly what he was doing," Garcia said."

I'm going to assume this is why it happened, by the way.

Why the hell would you have closing arguments like this, since they'd be the thing that'd echo most vibrantly

I dunno why everyone is ignoring my posts about it, but yeah, this lines up perfectly with what I said.

The prosecutor hammered on the point that it was fully intentional, and when the jury decided they didnt buy that, the remaining evidence didnt make the case beyond a reasonable doubt for the lesser charge.
