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.",

He said he was on his way to a two-week assignment in Helena, Montana, but started the trip on a day off and drove up the California coast on U.S. 101.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he decided to stop in San Francisco for dinner around 9:30 p.m. and parked on the west side of the Embarcadero across the street from Pier 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was well-lit, metered parking with other pedestrians in the area,\" Woychowski testified. \"I thought it would be pretty safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he placed his Eddie Bauer backpack containing the gun and his law enforcement credentials behind the driver's seat of his SUV, which automatically reclines when the vehicle is parked. Then he locked the SUV and headed to dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the group returned just before 11 p.m., Woychowski's fiancee was the first to notice the break-in, he testified.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"rxb511BcCPZOnYNvmOLZuVk9iZTzWpgN\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My fiancee yells out, 'Oh my God, I can't believe this,' \" Woychowski testified. \"The back-seat passenger side window was smashed out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he called 911 and also reported the theft to his own agency. A BLM investigation found the way he transported and stored the gun did not violate the agency's policy at the time, and he was not disciplined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woychowski \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/20/federal-agency-promoted-ranger-just-months-after-his-gun-was-stolen-and-used-in-steinle-killing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was promoted\u003c/a> to a supervisory position in December 2015, five months after Steinle's death.

"content": "\u003cp>James Steinle recounted the last moments he spent with his daughter from the witness stand Monday, the opening day of the murder trial over the July 1, 2015, slaying of Kathryn Steinle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He'd taken BART from Pleasanton with a family friend to meet his 32-year-old daughter, whom friends and family called Kate, for a meandering evening stroll along San Francisco's waterfront.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few minutes after 6 p.m., the trio ended up walking toward the end of Pier 14, adjacent to the Ferry Building, to \"watch the birds and the boats,\" Steinle testified. His daughter took a few selfies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"j0tb8K2vLBvPkYbPwN5WtpWhtIyyOG3J\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, Steinle testified, a loud noise startled him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I instinctively looked at Kate,\" he said, his voice quivering. \"She put up her arms and said, 'Help me, Dad.' I grabbed her and held her, gave her mouth-to-mouth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Time seemed to blur at that point, Steinle said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Kate couldn't talk,\" he said. \"Her eyes were closed. She was having trouble breathing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some point, a stranger helped him roll his daughter over to discover a bullet hole in her back. She died later at the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within about an hour, police arrested the man now accused of murder in Kathryn Steinle's death, a Mexican citizen named Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, also known as Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez. The prosecution and defense agree the bullet that killed Steinle was fired from a semi-automatic handgun in Garcia Zarate's hands. But the case that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/19/how-a-san-francisco-killing-became-part-of-the-u-s-immigration-debate/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ignited a political firestorm\u003c/a> over immigration policy and so-called sanctuary cities is anything but simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Prosecution\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant District Attorney Diana Garcia began her opening statement by pulling a black \u003ca href=\"https://www.sigsauer.com/products/firearms/pistols/p239/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sig Sauer P239 handgun\u003c/a> from a manila envelope and holding it up in front of the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the gun,\" she said. \"[Steinle] is dead because this man pointed this gun in her direction and pulled the trigger.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her statement didn't address a motive for the seemingly random shooting, because it's unknown. But she emphasized that not only did Garcia Zarate fire the fatal gunshot, he also meant to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'He knew he had a gun. He meant to conceal it. He meant to fire it on that pier. He meant to kill Kathryn Steinle.'\u003ccite>Diana Garcia,\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco assistant district attorney\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"I will prove to you that this defendant intentionally fired this gun at people on that pier,\" prosecutor Garcia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Garcia acknowledged there are no witnesses who actually saw the shooting, she touched on a handful of civilians likely to be called in the case: A woman who took a photo that captured Garcia Zarate sitting in a spinning metal chair along the south side of the pier sometime before the shooting, and two other women who say they saw Garcia Zarate hurriedly leaving just after Steinle collapsed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia also addressed some of the evidence in the case: Where the gun came from, how it got to the pier, and gunshot residue found on Garcia Zarate's right hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most important to Garcia Zarate's guilt or innocence, Garcia argued his intentions as he handled the gun are clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He knew he had a gun,\" she told the jury. \"He meant to conceal it. He meant to fire it on that pier. He meant to kill Kathryn Steinle.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Defense\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lead defense attorney Matt Gonzalez also started his opening statement with the murder weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The gun was pointed at the ground,\" he said, referencing the ricochet in the bullet's path between Garcia Zarate and Steinle. \"It missed Kathryn Steinle by 78 feet initially.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There has never been a ricochet charged as a murder in the history of San Francisco,\" Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'When he was arrested, he had some cracker crumbs in his pockets, some cigarette butts. ... He is exactly the type of person who might investigate an object on the ground that you or I might walk by.'\u003ccite>Matt Gonzalez,\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco Public Defender's chief attorney\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>A projector displayed the crux of the defense's case on a screen across the courtroom: \"This was a tragedy and this was an accident,\" it said in large black letters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez argued that Garcia Zarate, starving and destitute after living on the streets of San Francisco for 2½ months, reached beneath the spinning metal chair to find a heavy bundle of cloth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When he was arrested, he had some cracker crumbs in his pockets, some cigarette butts,\" Gonzalez said. \"He is exactly the type of person who might investigate an object on the ground that you or I might walk by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The argument draws on a stipulation, or agreement, between the prosecution and the defense in the case: Police were unable to find any evidence tying Garcia Zarate to an auto burglary four days before Steinle was shot that put a federal land management ranger's .40-caliber handgun on San Francisco's streets. The jury must presume Garcia Zarate didn't steal it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don’t know where that gun was in that four-day period -- it was in a state of flux,\" Gonzalez said. \"He was never seen with the gun. He never showed the gun to anyone because he didn't have it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez displayed frames from grainy video of the pier that day taken from a great distance, video that the prosecution is also referencing in its case. He said a sequence of frames just before the shooting show Garcia Zarate appearing to bend down -- implying he'd just discovered the gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At that moment right before the shooting … you can see some degree of crouching over,\" Gonzalez said, though the frames projected on the screen from those moments of the video were not clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frames showing silhouettes of several people gathering around the chair that Garcia Zarate sat in, about a half an hour before the defendant got there, were more distinct, however. Gonzalez said outside court that the portion of the video showed \"very peculiar behavior\" and a strange \"coincidence that it's at the exact location.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the gunshot residue, Gonzalez said it actually strengthens the defense's case. Two tests discovered just one particle on Garcia Zarate's hands, when you'd expect \"hundreds of thousands of particles\" on someone's hand who had recently fired a gun, Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the reasons why he doesn't have a lot of gunshot residue on his hand is because the object was indeed wrapped in cloth,\" Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Ranger\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both prosecution and defense plan to call U.S. Bureau of Land Management Ranger John Woychowski as a witness, a recent development on the DA's part after the prosecution and federal government's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/07/14/feds-balk-at-subpoena-for-rangers-testimony-in-kathryn-steinle-murder-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attempt\u003c/a> to prevent him from testifying were unsuccessful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant DA Garcia described Woychowski's June 27, 2015, trip from the Imperial County town of El Centro to San Francisco late in the evening. He and his then-fiance, plus three children, stopped near the Embarcadero for dinner around 10 p.m. and returned to their car to find a window broken and a backpack containing Woychowski's Sig Sauer pistol missing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ICmAsTVOWKKaPP4qJUuNy0oKTA1D3BJy\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those details were first disclosed by KQED on Friday in a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/20/federal-agency-promoted-ranger-just-months-after-his-gun-was-stolen-and-used-in-steinle-killing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report about Woychowski's promotion\u003c/a> five months after Steinle was killed with his stolen weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia didn't criticize Woychowski in front of the jury, but defense attorney Gonzalez did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The BLM ranger, he is not on trial,\" Gonzalez said in court. \"I'm sure he feels badly about what happened. But for his negligence, we would not be here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a pretrial victory for the defense, Judge Samuel Feng ruled BLM law enforcement policies could come into evidence.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I instinctively looked at Kate,\" he said, his voice quivering. \"She put up her arms and said, 'Help me, Dad.' I grabbed her and held her, gave her mouth-to-mouth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Time seemed to blur at that point, Steinle said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Kate couldn't talk,\" he said. \"Her eyes were closed. She was having trouble breathing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some point, a stranger helped him roll his daughter over to discover a bullet hole in her back. She died later at the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within about an hour, police arrested the man now accused of murder in Kathryn Steinle's death, a Mexican citizen named Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, also known as Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez. The prosecution and defense agree the bullet that killed Steinle was fired from a semi-automatic handgun in Garcia Zarate's hands. But the case that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/19/how-a-san-francisco-killing-became-part-of-the-u-s-immigration-debate/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ignited a political firestorm\u003c/a> over immigration policy and so-called sanctuary cities is anything but simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Prosecution\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant District Attorney Diana Garcia began her opening statement by pulling a black \u003ca href=\"https://www.sigsauer.com/products/firearms/pistols/p239/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sig Sauer P239 handgun\u003c/a> from a manila envelope and holding it up in front of the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the gun,\" she said. \"[Steinle] is dead because this man pointed this gun in her direction and pulled the trigger.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her statement didn't address a motive for the seemingly random shooting, because it's unknown. But she emphasized that not only did Garcia Zarate fire the fatal gunshot, he also meant to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'He knew he had a gun. He meant to conceal it. He meant to fire it on that pier. He meant to kill Kathryn Steinle.'\u003ccite>Diana Garcia,\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco assistant district attorney\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"I will prove to you that this defendant intentionally fired this gun at people on that pier,\" prosecutor Garcia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Garcia acknowledged there are no witnesses who actually saw the shooting, she touched on a handful of civilians likely to be called in the case: A woman who took a photo that captured Garcia Zarate sitting in a spinning metal chair along the south side of the pier sometime before the shooting, and two other women who say they saw Garcia Zarate hurriedly leaving just after Steinle collapsed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia also addressed some of the evidence in the case: Where the gun came from, how it got to the pier, and gunshot residue found on Garcia Zarate's right hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most important to Garcia Zarate's guilt or innocence, Garcia argued his intentions as he handled the gun are clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He knew he had a gun,\" she told the jury. \"He meant to conceal it. He meant to fire it on that pier. He meant to kill Kathryn Steinle.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Defense\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lead defense attorney Matt Gonzalez also started his opening statement with the murder weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The gun was pointed at the ground,\" he said, referencing the ricochet in the bullet's path between Garcia Zarate and Steinle. \"It missed Kathryn Steinle by 78 feet initially.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There has never been a ricochet charged as a murder in the history of San Francisco,\" Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'When he was arrested, he had some cracker crumbs in his pockets, some cigarette butts. ... He is exactly the type of person who might investigate an object on the ground that you or I might walk by.'\u003ccite>Matt Gonzalez,\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco Public Defender's chief attorney\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>A projector displayed the crux of the defense's case on a screen across the courtroom: \"This was a tragedy and this was an accident,\" it said in large black letters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez argued that Garcia Zarate, starving and destitute after living on the streets of San Francisco for 2½ months, reached beneath the spinning metal chair to find a heavy bundle of cloth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When he was arrested, he had some cracker crumbs in his pockets, some cigarette butts,\" Gonzalez said. \"He is exactly the type of person who might investigate an object on the ground that you or I might walk by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The argument draws on a stipulation, or agreement, between the prosecution and the defense in the case: Police were unable to find any evidence tying Garcia Zarate to an auto burglary four days before Steinle was shot that put a federal land management ranger's .40-caliber handgun on San Francisco's streets. The jury must presume Garcia Zarate didn't steal it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don’t know where that gun was in that four-day period -- it was in a state of flux,\" Gonzalez said. \"He was never seen with the gun. He never showed the gun to anyone because he didn't have it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez displayed frames from grainy video of the pier that day taken from a great distance, video that the prosecution is also referencing in its case. He said a sequence of frames just before the shooting show Garcia Zarate appearing to bend down -- implying he'd just discovered the gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At that moment right before the shooting … you can see some degree of crouching over,\" Gonzalez said, though the frames projected on the screen from those moments of the video were not clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frames showing silhouettes of several people gathering around the chair that Garcia Zarate sat in, about a half an hour before the defendant got there, were more distinct, however. Gonzalez said outside court that the portion of the video showed \"very peculiar behavior\" and a strange \"coincidence that it's at the exact location.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the gunshot residue, Gonzalez said it actually strengthens the defense's case. Two tests discovered just one particle on Garcia Zarate's hands, when you'd expect \"hundreds of thousands of particles\" on someone's hand who had recently fired a gun, Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the reasons why he doesn't have a lot of gunshot residue on his hand is because the object was indeed wrapped in cloth,\" Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Ranger\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both prosecution and defense plan to call U.S. Bureau of Land Management Ranger John Woychowski as a witness, a recent development on the DA's part after the prosecution and federal government's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/07/14/feds-balk-at-subpoena-for-rangers-testimony-in-kathryn-steinle-murder-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attempt\u003c/a> to prevent him from testifying were unsuccessful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant DA Garcia described Woychowski's June 27, 2015, trip from the Imperial County town of El Centro to San Francisco late in the evening. He and his then-fiance, plus three children, stopped near the Embarcadero for dinner around 10 p.m. and returned to their car to find a window broken and a backpack containing Woychowski's Sig Sauer pistol missing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those details were first disclosed by KQED on Friday in a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/20/federal-agency-promoted-ranger-just-months-after-his-gun-was-stolen-and-used-in-steinle-killing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report about Woychowski's promotion\u003c/a> five months after Steinle was killed with his stolen weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia didn't criticize Woychowski in front of the jury, but defense attorney Gonzalez did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The BLM ranger, he is not on trial,\" Gonzalez said in court. \"I'm sure he feels badly about what happened. But for his negligence, we would not be here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a pretrial victory for the defense, Judge Samuel Feng ruled BLM law enforcement policies could come into evidence. Woychowski's storage of his weapon without locking it would have violated the rules if he were on duty and in an official vehicle. But the rules appear not to have addressed his travel in a personal car, on his way to an assignment but not actively on duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

According to attorneys familiar with the case, Woychowski told investigators he left on a day off and drove up the California coast -- over 600 miles -- before stopping near the Embarcadero in San Francisco for dinner at almost 10 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Woychowski and the group returned to the vehicle, they found it burglarized, with the backpack containing Woychowski's duty weapon and ammunition missing. It had been stashed under the driver's seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gun's path from there to Jose Ines Garcia Zarate's hands -- as he sat in a spinning metal chair on Pier 14 four days later -- is unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Zarate's defense attorneys attempted to introduce evidence in August that Woychowski's vehicle was among several cars burglarized in the area along the Embarcadero south of the Ferry Building the night of June 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woychowski made a report to San Francisco police at 11:14 p.m., according to the defense motion. Another auto burglary, in a parking garage near 300 Embarcadero, just down the street from Pier 14, was reported at 11:34 p.m. The backpack, a .40-caliber ammunition magazine and Woychowski's BLM-issued credit cards were found near the site of the second break-in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that information won't be presented to the jury. To resolve a dispute over its relevance, the prosecution agreed to stipulate that no evidence ties Garcia Zarate to the auto burglaries. It was a small victory for the defense's argument that Garcia Zarate found the gun on the pier just before the shooting, and he didn't know what he was holding until it accidentally fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No Prosecution\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Woychowski faced neither discipline nor criminal charges for failing to secure his weapon -- a misdemeanor under California law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing on Thursday about the scope of Woychowski's testimony, defense attorney Matt Gonzalez said the police department's treatment of the ranger during its homicide investigation would be probed in front of the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The investigation in this case is going to be criticized,\" he said. \"[Police] adhered to an age-old custom of protecting their own.

It was in a backpack, unlocked in the vehicle. That is not a locked compartment. It was a violation of criminal law at the time that it happened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Gonzalez says that wasn't the only crime. Woychowski had a second handgun in the spare tire wheel well in the trunk of his car that Gonzalez says was also unsecured. It wasn't stolen. Woychowski didn't mention it to police investigators, and they didn't ask, Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was worried that he was going to be prosecuted,\" Gonzalez said, referring to notes of an interview SFPD conducted with Woychowski. \"He wanted assurances that he wasn’t going to be, and they gave it to him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law that could have led to charges for Woychowski was since strengthened through legislation authored by state Sen. Jerry Hill that took effect this year. Guns are now required to be locked in a container \u003cem>attached\u003c/em> to the vehicle, so the container can't simply be swiped. Leaving a weapon unsecured in a vehicle also now carries a potential $1,000 penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No Discipline\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Even though he wasn't criminally charged, Woychowski should have faced administrative discipline -- such as a reprimand, suspension or firing, Gonzalez says, for violating BLM law enforcement policies in addition to state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He faced none, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury won't hear about that, though. Prosecuting attorney Diana Garcia successfully moved to exclude any testimony about a lack of consequences for the ranger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The jury is going to be fixated on, 'Oh my God, he wasn’t disciplined,' \" she said in court. \"I don’t want them deliberating about that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the BLM policies around firearm safety and security will come into evidence, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Samuel Feng ruled. The bureau closely guards the rules that govern law enforcement officers, arguing they are exempt from public disclosure.

I think that’s easy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BLM again updated its firearms rules after Steinle's death. The bureau now requires two levels of locks on firearms stored in vehicles, and it closed the personal vehicle loophole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An instruction memorandum issued in June last year appears to reference Woychowski's conduct:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>While GO [General Order] 15, 'Firearms' includes policy guidance focused on security, storage and handling requirements for firearms carried within officially assigned vehicles (e.g., government-owned vehicles such as Law Enforcement Rangers and Special Agents), it was determined additional guidance was necessary to address the securing of firearms within personally-owned vehicles, rental vehicles, etc.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The federal government's internal investigation into Woychowski's conduct is not public. But attorneys defending the federal government in a civil lawsuit filed by Kathryn Steinle's family included a description of the internal accountability for Woychowski in a footnote on a Sept. 12, 2016, motion to dismiss filed early in the case. The motion was eventually rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[T]he BLM ranger’s conduct was reviewed, and he was not found to have violated BLM rules or policies in place at the time of the theft were violated (sic),\" the footnote says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Calm Under Pressure'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how long it took the BLM to absolve Woychowski through its review. But the loss of his unsecured firearm didn't prevent him from being promoted to a supervisory position five months after Steinle's death, according to a former employee of the bureau and an internal BLM email thread that person provided to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s astonishing,\" civil attorney Cordova said of Woychowski's promotion when she was informed of it by KQED. \"It’s really inexcusable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>U.S. Bureau of Land Management Policies Related to Firearm Safety and Security\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Follow the evolution of BLM firearm policies before and after Kathryn Steinle's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113627-060809-BLM-Handbook-Non-LEO-Employee-Firearms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2006 BLM Handbook\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113632-110204-BLM-Law-Enforcement-General-Order-15.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2011 Law Enforcement General Orders 15: Firearms\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113624-140702-Firearms-and-Defensive-Equipment-Standards.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 Department of the Interior Manual: Firearms and Defensive Equipment Standards\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113628-140804-BLM-Safety-and-Health-Management-Handbook.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 BLM Safety and Health Management Handbook\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113626-160115-Law-Enforcement-Handbook-CH-10-Firearms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2016 Law Enforcement Handbook: Firearms Standards\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113631-160613-OLES-BLM-Security-and-Storage-of-Firearms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2016 BLM Memo on Security and Storage of Firearms\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez brought up the promotion in court on Thursday, after he learned about it in an interview with KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your honor, he got promoted after this incident,\" Gonzalez said. \"It’s not just lack of discipline.

The agency refused repeated requests to verify Woychowski's employment history -- where he had worked and in what positions -- since joining the BLM. He is listed in publicly available federal purchase records, however, as being based in El Centro from late 2009 to 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was named ranger of the year in El Centro in 2011, according to a BLM newsletter announcement, since removed from the bureau's website (\u003ca href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20120114224541/http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/info/newsbytes/2011/509xtra_ranger_year_ecfo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">archived here\u003c/a>).

Stephanie Clark's email announcing Woychowski's promotion in December 2015 was sent to state-level BLM officials and employees in the El Centro office. Nieblas forwarded the announcement, with a message of his own to larger email lists:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>All,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Please join me in congratulating George Masner and John Woychowski as the 2 new LE supervisors for the busy El Centro Field Office.

The committee heard testimony from family members who have had loved ones killed by undocumented immigrants. \u003ccite>(Mark Wilson/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The attorneys say Woychowski was driving his personal vehicle, and he had passengers -- his then-girlfriend and three children, 5, 10 and 14 years old. According to attorneys familiar with the case, Woychowski told investigators he left on a day off and drove up the California coast -- over 600 miles -- before stopping near the Embarcadero in San Francisco for dinner at almost 10 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Woychowski and the group returned to the vehicle, they found it burglarized, with the backpack containing Woychowski's duty weapon and ammunition missing. It had been stashed under the driver's seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gun's path from there to Jose Ines Garcia Zarate's hands -- as he sat in a spinning metal chair on Pier 14 four days later -- is unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia Zarate's defense attorneys attempted to introduce evidence in August that Woychowski's vehicle was among several cars burglarized in the area along the Embarcadero south of the Ferry Building the night of June 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woychowski made a report to San Francisco police at 11:14 p.m., according to the defense motion. Another auto burglary, in a parking garage near 300 Embarcadero, just down the street from Pier 14, was reported at 11:34 p.m. The backpack, a .40-caliber ammunition magazine and Woychowski's BLM-issued credit cards were found near the site of the second break-in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that information won't be presented to the jury. To resolve a dispute over its relevance, the prosecution agreed to stipulate that no evidence ties Garcia Zarate to the auto burglaries. It was a small victory for the defense's argument that Garcia Zarate found the gun on the pier just before the shooting, and he didn't know what he was holding until it accidentally fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No Prosecution\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Woychowski faced neither discipline nor criminal charges for failing to secure his weapon -- a misdemeanor under California law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing on Thursday about the scope of Woychowski's testimony, defense attorney Matt Gonzalez said the police department's treatment of the ranger during its homicide investigation would be probed in front of the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The investigation in this case is going to be criticized,\" he said. \"[Police] adhered to an age-old custom of protecting their own. Part of that is the kid gloves they treated this ranger with.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys representing Kathryn Steinle's family in a civil lawsuit agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624403\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11624403\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/GettyImages-479823652-800x1016.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1016\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jose Ines Garcia Zarate will stand trial for Kathryn Steinle's killing. \u003ccite>(Michael Macor/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"If the San Francisco Police Department and the district attorney wanted to, they could have pressed charges,\" civil attorney Alison Cordova said in an interview. \"From what we know, John Woychowski did not have his gun in a locked compartment in the vehicle. It was in a backpack, unlocked in the vehicle. That is not a locked compartment. It was a violation of criminal law at the time that it happened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Gonzalez says that wasn't the only crime. Woychowski had a second handgun in the spare tire wheel well in the trunk of his car that Gonzalez says was also unsecured. It wasn't stolen. Woychowski didn't mention it to police investigators, and they didn't ask, Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was worried that he was going to be prosecuted,\" Gonzalez said, referring to notes of an interview SFPD conducted with Woychowski. \"He wanted assurances that he wasn’t going to be, and they gave it to him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law that could have led to charges for Woychowski was since strengthened through legislation authored by state Sen. Jerry Hill that took effect this year. Guns are now required to be locked in a container \u003cem>attached\u003c/em> to the vehicle, so the container can't simply be swiped. Leaving a weapon unsecured in a vehicle also now carries a potential $1,000 penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No Discipline\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Even though he wasn't criminally charged, Woychowski should have faced administrative discipline -- such as a reprimand, suspension or firing, Gonzalez says, for violating BLM law enforcement policies in addition to state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He faced none, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury won't hear about that, though. Prosecuting attorney Diana Garcia successfully moved to exclude any testimony about a lack of consequences for the ranger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The jury is going to be fixated on, 'Oh my God, he wasn’t disciplined,' \" she said in court. \"I don’t want them deliberating about that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the BLM policies around firearm safety and security will come into evidence, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Samuel Feng ruled. The bureau closely guards the rules that govern law enforcement officers, arguing they are exempt from public disclosure. Defense attorneys provided KQED with the BLM policies relevant to their case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11624510\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11624510\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-800x558.jpg\" alt=\"A well-wisher drops off flowers at the site where 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle was killed on Pier 14 in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-800x558.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-160x112.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-1020x711.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-1180x822.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-960x669.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-240x167.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-375x261.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SteinleFlowers-520x362.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A well-wisher drops off flowers at the site where 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle was killed on Pier 14 in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The policies came into the case over the prosecution's objection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The BLM policies are not on trial,\" prosecutor Garcia argued. \"None of the policies or rules ... are applicable to him. The BLM ranger did not violate any policies or procedures in place at the time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there was an apparent loophole in specific regulations on storage of weapons in personal vehicles, Woychowski still appears to have violated several more general BLM law enforcement rules in place in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An LEO (law enforcement officer) is responsible for ensuring that their authorized firearms are secure at all times,\" say general orders in place in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were later strengthened in response to Office of the Inspector General findings about lax firearm security throughout the Department of the Interior, which includes the BLM.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Firearms not in an officer's immediate control must be appropriately secured to ensure they are kept out of reach of children or other unauthorized persons,\" according to a Department of the Interior manual issued in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense plans to argue that Woychowski's road trip with three children and his unlocked firearm that was eventually stolen violates that rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can allege that he violated policy, they can argue that he didn’t,\" Gonzalez said after court. \"But in that skirmish I assure you that the takeaway will be he shouldn’t have left his gun in a car loaded like that in a backpack. I think that’s easy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BLM again updated its firearms rules after Steinle's death. The bureau now requires two levels of locks on firearms stored in vehicles, and it closed the personal vehicle loophole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An instruction memorandum issued in June last year appears to reference Woychowski's conduct:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>While GO [General Order] 15, 'Firearms' includes policy guidance focused on security, storage and handling requirements for firearms carried within officially assigned vehicles (e.g., government-owned vehicles such as Law Enforcement Rangers and Special Agents), it was determined additional guidance was necessary to address the securing of firearms within personally-owned vehicles, rental vehicles, etc.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The federal government's internal investigation into Woychowski's conduct is not public. But attorneys defending the federal government in a civil lawsuit filed by Kathryn Steinle's family included a description of the internal accountability for Woychowski in a footnote on a Sept. 12, 2016, motion to dismiss filed early in the case. The motion was eventually rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[T]he BLM ranger’s conduct was reviewed, and he was not found to have violated BLM rules or policies in place at the time of the theft were violated (sic),\" the footnote says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Calm Under Pressure'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how long it took the BLM to absolve Woychowski through its review. But the loss of his unsecured firearm didn't prevent him from being promoted to a supervisory position five months after Steinle's death, according to a former employee of the bureau and an internal BLM email thread that person provided to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s astonishing,\" civil attorney Cordova said of Woychowski's promotion when she was informed of it by KQED. \"It’s really inexcusable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>U.S. Bureau of Land Management Policies Related to Firearm Safety and Security\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Follow the evolution of BLM firearm policies before and after Kathryn Steinle's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113627-060809-BLM-Handbook-Non-LEO-Employee-Firearms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2006 BLM Handbook\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113632-110204-BLM-Law-Enforcement-General-Order-15.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2011 Law Enforcement General Orders 15: Firearms\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113624-140702-Firearms-and-Defensive-Equipment-Standards.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 Department of the Interior Manual: Firearms and Defensive Equipment Standards\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113628-140804-BLM-Safety-and-Health-Management-Handbook.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 BLM Safety and Health Management Handbook\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113626-160115-Law-Enforcement-Handbook-CH-10-Firearms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2016 Law Enforcement Handbook: Firearms Standards\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4113631-160613-OLES-BLM-Security-and-Storage-of-Firearms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2016 BLM Memo on Security and Storage of Firearms\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez brought up the promotion in court on Thursday, after he learned about it in an interview with KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your honor, he got promoted after this incident,\" Gonzalez said. \"It’s not just lack of discipline. They [BLM] have zero credibility as an agency.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The email thread announcing Woychowski's promotion starts with a message from Stephanie Clark, then the chief ranger of the BLM's El Centro field office, sent just before 1 p.m. on Dec. 9, 2015. Its recipients include the BLM's top law enforcement official in California, Special Agent in Charge Kynan Barrios, and the BLM's chief ranger in the state, Salvador Nieblas. Both are based in Sacramento but worked previously in El Centro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm pleased to announce the selections of Ranger George Masner and Ranger John Woychowski as Supervisory Staff Law Enforcement Rangers (Field Supervisors) for the El Centro Field Office,\" the message begins. Clark mentions that both men had in the past served as acting supervisory rangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"John is an accomplished Field Training Instructor and provides tremendous guidance to his trainees, El Centro Rangers, and peers throughout the nation; experience greatly needed as El Centro prepares the next generation of rangers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Masner went on to become acting chief ranger for the El Centro field office, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.blm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files/get-involved-rac-near-you-california-california-desert-district-FieldOfficeReports-Feb2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">annual report\u003c/a> from February. The Bureau of Land Management confirmed that Woychowski was a BLM employee in July, when \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\">KQED reported\u003c/a> that he was identified by a defense subpoena in the Garcia Zarate trial. The agency refused repeated requests to verify Woychowski's employment history -- where he had worked and in what positions -- since joining the BLM. He is listed in publicly available federal purchase records, however, as being based in El Centro from late 2009 to 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was named ranger of the year in El Centro in 2011, according to a BLM newsletter announcement, since removed from the bureau's website (\u003ca href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20120114224541/http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/info/newsbytes/2011/509xtra_ranger_year_ecfo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">archived here\u003c/a>). The post includes a photograph of Woychowski with then-El Centro Chief Ranger Margaret Goodro and Woychowski's then-supervisor, Salvador Nieblas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nieblas had himself risen through the ranks of the BLM and in 2015, he was the chief BLM ranger for all of California, as he is today. Stephanie Clark's email announcing Woychowski's promotion in December 2015 was sent to state-level BLM officials and employees in the El Centro office. Nieblas forwarded the announcement, with a message of his own to larger email lists:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>All,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Please join me in congratulating George Masner and John Woychowski as the 2 new LE supervisors for the busy El Centro Field Office. Their law enforcement field experience along with their stints as acting LE supervisors, acting Chiefs, shift leads, ops chiefs, and Incident Commanders sets a strong foundation for leadership, especially as we endeavor to rebuild our ranks. Not only are they good at making arrests, they easily transition to community policing and involving our non-LE staff to meet our mission. Calm under pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congrats,\u003cbr>\nSal\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The email thread and the promotions it celebrated were confirmed by current and former BLM employees who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are either not authorized to speak on the record or because they fear retaliation from the federal government, including the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. departments of the Interior and Justice, which are all involved in the criminal and civil litigation arising from Steinle's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he received no consequences, both criminal and civil attorneys allege Woychowski's carelessness played a key role in Steinle's killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"None of this would have been possible but for Woychowski’s negligence,\" defense attorney Gonzalez said. \"He started the chain of events and there’s been no scrutiny of his actions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He continued: \"You don't want to punish someone for an accident which he feels bad about. OK, we understand that. But to promote him is an affront to the role that he played in starting this chain of events.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former employee who saved and eventually provided to KQED a copy of the email announcing Woychowski's promotion said the Steinle family has a right to know about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel horrible for the family,\" the source said. \"I feel somewhat accountable. I worked for the agency. I know the devil is in the details. I know the fact that he really shouldn't have been there. I know for a fact that he shouldn't have left his gun in the car. He did two major no-nos.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED sought comment from BLM leadership involved in announcing Woychowski's promotion. Stephanie Clark could not be reached for comment. John Woychowski, Salvador Nieblas and Kynan Barrios did not return phone messages seeking comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The BLM will not comment on employment history in cases where the request pertains to pending litigation,\" a spokeswoman for the bureau's California state office wrote in an emailed response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
