San Francisco Examiner– Attorneys for San Francisco argued Monday that an appeals court should uphold a judge’s decision to throw out a lawsuit alleging former Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi’s negligence caused the death of Kate Steinle.
Steinle’s parents brought their lawsuit to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in November after a federal judge dismissed allegations made against San Francisco and Mirkarimi in connection with Steinle’s death, which has drawn national attention.
On Monday, the City Attorney’s Office filed arguments responding to claims that Mirkarimi acted negligently when he ignored an immigration detainer request and released from jail the undocumented man who later shot Steinle, a 32-year-old San Francisco resident.
