His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Firearms expert Alan Voth testified that the ricochet's proximity to the chair and distance from Steinle, among other factors, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/11/08/steinle-trial-defense-expert-says-facts-of-shooting-suggest-accidental-discharge/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">indicated an accidental discharge\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prosecution's firearms expert, current SFPD supervising criminalist Andy Smith, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/31/defense-in-steinle-murder-trial-wants-jury-to-dry-fire-gun-to-test-trigger-pull/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">testified\u003c/a> that there are internal mechanisms that prevent the gun from firing \u003cem>unless\u003c/em> the trigger is pulled.

He spent 15 of the past 20 years serving time in federal prison for illegal re-entry into the U.S. He was released in San Francisco two months before Steinle was killed despite a request from immigration agents to hold him for deportation. Conservative politicians pushing for stronger immigration enforcement, including President Trump, seized on the case to criticize so-called sanctuary cities like San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"t1syGQbORp6zYJ0KhHjyFZnfpwvsGQiN\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Francisco Ugarte said outside court that six people convening at the chair so close in time to the shooting was \"remarkably coincidental.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They appeared to be circling the seat looking down, bending down,\" Ugarte said. \"We believe that it's entirely likely that group of individuals discarded the weapon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grainy surveillance video from a pier over a quarter-mile away captured the July 1, 2015, shooting, and footage from an hour before, when six figures appeared to convene around the steel seat for almost 30 minutes. Members of the group appeared to repeatedly bend down around the base of the chair, setting down and then picking up blurry objects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They left the pier at approximately 5:38 p.m., and Garcia Zarate arrived at the seat about 6:07 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evidence was entered during testimony from Paul Endo, an expert video analyst hired by the defense. Garcia Zarate is charged with murder, and the prosecution is arguing he likely brought the gun with him to the pier and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/30/bullet-trajectory-and-ricochet-shot-central-to-steinle-murder-trial/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intended to fire\u003c/a> the shot that killed Steinle.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"nUUfqVXTopJ2pBn2zxPd8CUooJ3B5dRZ\"]\u003cbr>\nUgarte said police didn't investigate the group who gathered at the scene, and they missed an opportunity to corroborate Garcia Zarate's story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You would imagine that sergeants -- experienced homicide inspectors -- looking at surveillance footage would want to know how that gun got to the pier,\" Ugarte said, \"particularly when Mr. Garcia Zarate said he found it there, particularly when there is a meeting of six individuals on the pier half an hour before he sits down. They didn't investigate it. It's unclear why. It's sloppy. And unfortunately, we're the ones putting forth that evidence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During cross-examination Wednesday morning, prosecutor Diana Garcia asked Endo whether he could tell if the group gathered around the steel seat was engaged in criminal activity. Endo said he couldn't tell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia noted that the group appeared to gather around the chair for 28 minutes. She asked Endo if a group doing something criminal would \"hang out for 28 minutes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know what a criminal group would do,\" Endo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia asked him if he was told the defense's theory of the case -- that Garcia Zarate didn't mean to fire the shot that killed Steinle -- and essentially find evidence to support it. Endo said he was asked to enhance the video and point out anything unusual, especially at the metal seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Are you aware that they're trying to show, through you, that they were dropping the gun there?\" Garcia asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Endo said he was hired by the defense to analyze the video but didn't initially know about the defense argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During direct testimony Tuesday, Endo also discussed video from the seconds before the shooting at approximately 6:30 p.m. He said the extremely blurry magnification of Garcia Zarate showed him move his leg and then bend down just before Steinle fell. She was standing next to her father, James Steinle, who can be seen on the video moving to help her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Zarate's movements, however, were not clearly visible until he got up to leave after the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is it your testimony that the blob that we saw yesterday is a clear image?\" Garcia asked Endo on Wednesday about the zoomed-in portion of the surveillance video of Garcia Zarate's position moments before Steinle fell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the clearest image possible at that time,\" Endo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11629294\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11629294\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/giphy-1.gif\" alt=\"Surveillance footage from another pier a little over a quarter mile southwest of Pier 14.

The footage was taken half an hour before the man on trial for killing Kathryn Steinle says he found a gun in that same spot -- near a metal chair -- and accidentally fired it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorneys say the footage aligns with defendant Jose Ines Garcia Zarate's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/11/01/defendant-in-steinle-murder-trial-told-police-he-fired-threw-gun-in-bay-to-stop-it-from-shooting/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statements to police\u003c/a> several hours after the shooting that he found the gun wrapped in cloth where he was sitting. The gun was stolen from a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/07/07/court-filing-ids-fed-whose-stolen-gun-was-used-in-kate-steinle-killing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Bureau of Land Management ranger's\u003c/a> car four days before the shooting, and police found no evidence that Garcia Zarate was involved in that or \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/21/second-auto-burglary-at-play-as-steinle-murder-trial-opens-in-s-f/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">related auto burglaries\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Zarate is a Mexican citizen with a history of deportations and low-level drug crimes. He spent 15 of the past 20 years serving time in federal prison for illegal re-entry into the U.S. He was released in San Francisco two months before Steinle was killed despite a request from immigration agents to hold him for deportation. Conservative politicians pushing for stronger immigration enforcement, including President Trump, seized on the case to criticize so-called sanctuary cities like San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Francisco Ugarte said outside court that six people convening at the chair so close in time to the shooting was \"remarkably coincidental.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Members of the group appeared to repeatedly bend down around the base of the chair, setting down and then picking up blurry objects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They left the pier at approximately 5:38 p.m., and Garcia Zarate arrived at the seat about 6:07 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evidence was entered during testimony from Paul Endo, an expert video analyst hired by the defense. Garcia Zarate is charged with murder, and the prosecution is arguing he likely brought the gun with him to the pier and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/30/bullet-trajectory-and-ricochet-shot-central-to-steinle-murder-trial/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intended to fire\u003c/a> the shot that killed Steinle.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nUgarte said police didn't investigate the group who gathered at the scene, and they missed an opportunity to corroborate Garcia Zarate's story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You would imagine that sergeants -- experienced homicide inspectors -- looking at surveillance footage would want to know how that gun got to the pier,\" Ugarte said, \"particularly when Mr. Garcia Zarate said he found it there, particularly when there is a meeting of six individuals on the pier half an hour before he sits down. They didn't investigate it. It's unclear why. It's sloppy. And unfortunately, we're the ones putting forth that evidence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During cross-examination Wednesday morning, prosecutor Diana Garcia asked Endo whether he could tell if the group gathered around the steel seat was engaged in criminal activity. Endo said he couldn't tell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia noted that the group appeared to gather around the chair for 28 minutes. She asked Endo if a group doing something criminal would \"hang out for 28 minutes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know what a criminal group would do,\" Endo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia asked him if he was told the defense's theory of the case -- that Garcia Zarate didn't mean to fire the shot that killed Steinle -- and essentially find evidence to support it. Endo said he was asked to enhance the video and point out anything unusual, especially at the metal seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Are you aware that they're trying to show, through you, that they were dropping the gun there?\" Garcia asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Endo said he was hired by the defense to analyze the video but didn't initially know about the defense argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During direct testimony Tuesday, Endo also discussed video from the seconds before the shooting at approximately 6:30 p.m. He said the extremely blurry magnification of Garcia Zarate showed him move his leg and then bend down just before Steinle fell. She was standing next to her father, James Steinle, who can be seen on the video moving to help her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Zarate's movements, however, were not clearly visible until he got up to leave after the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is it your testimony that the blob that we saw yesterday is a clear image?\" Garcia asked Endo on Wednesday about the zoomed-in portion of the surveillance video of Garcia Zarate's position moments before Steinle fell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the clearest image possible at that time,\" Endo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11629294\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11629294\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/giphy-1.gif\" alt=\"Surveillance footage from another pier a little over a quarter mile southwest of Pier 14.

He points to a \u003ca href=\"https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/virginia/vaedce/1:2016cv00932/348006/132\">recent case in Virginia\u003c/a> where a federal court found the country could not block an individual from an official county Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Geltzer says the case was similar to this one. He says the county was trying to \"shut out voices that weren't obscene or bullying, but voices that simply expressed criticism or unwanted viewpoints.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one from the Justice Department was available in time to speak to NPR. However, in its \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/sites/default/files/content/Knight_v_Trump_WH_opening_brief.pdf\">brief\u003c/a>, the government argues that this is the president's private Twitter account. He's using it just like everyone else. Twitter is a private platform with its own rules. The president has a right to block people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this makes for a novel case in the digital age. If the court finds against the president, it could certainly have implications on how government officials chose to use social media in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.
