Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, far right appears in the court of Judge Brendan P. Conroy Tuesday morning, Aug. 25, 2015, in San Francisco, Calif., for a preliminary hearing in the Pier 14 killing of Kate Steinle this past July. Lopez-Sanchez, a Mexican national, is being held in the slaying that set off a firestorm over how local and federal authorities allowed the five-time deported felon to return to the streets just weeks before Steinle's death.
