Defendant refuses evaluation, delaying federal gun possession trial
The trial was scheduled to start on Friday if concerns were alleviated about his fitness to stand trial.
The Mexican acquitted of murder in the 2015 shooting of San Francisco resident Kate Steinle refused to participate in a competency evaluation Monday, further delaying his trial on federal gun possession charges.
U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria vacated the trial indefinitely until Jose Ines Garcia-Zarate submits to the evaluation.
