SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Outrage. Shock. Anger. Sadness.

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was found not guilty Thursday of killing the 32-year-old woman as she walked with her dad on Pier 14 in July 1, 2015.

Legal Analyst John Creighton explains why the jury had a hard time even convicting Garcia Zarate on the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter.
