TIMELINE: How the Kate Steinle case unfolded
They must decide if Jose Ines Garcia Zarate intentionally shot Kate Steinle or if it was an accident. His defense team really focused on the fact that the bullet ricocheted off the ground, saying they think that shows he wasn't aiming, that it was an accident.
Prosecutors say they think he aimed and the fact that he tossed the gun into the water showed he was covering his tracks. Both sides have been arguing the case for almost a month, the shooting happened two years ago.
