An illegal immigrant who then-San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris released after being caught by police for driving without a license killed a young law student with his car a few months later, the Washington Free Beacon reported on Tuesday.

Harris' office dropped the charges against Roberto Gallo in June 2010 after he was stopped by police for driving the wrong way down a one-way street and arrested for driving without a license. according to To the Free Beacon. A few months later, in November 2010, he struck 25-year-old law student Drew Rosenberg with his car after turning left on a yellow light, then ran over him multiple times in what appeared to be a getaway attempt.

“What I've learned now is that what happened to me is not the exception, it's the rule,” Drew's father, Don Rosenberg, told the Free Beacon. “My son died because the prosecutors were (and still are) not believed.” [not] “(Many people) believe that driving without a license is a big problem.” (Related: The Billionaires Funding Kamala Harris' Anti-Crime Campaign Wanted to Defund the Police and Appoint Soros Prosecutors)

According to the Free Beacon, people near Gallo's accident had to stand in front of his car to prevent him from fleeing the scene, and it took five men to lift Gallo's car off Rosenberg's body.

According to the Free Beacon, San Francisco law enforcement, under Harris' leadership, was reluctant to prosecute unlicensed drivers at the time because activists argued such laws unfairly targeted undocumented immigrants. A prosecutor from Harris' district attorney's office later told Rosenberg that the department had filed zero unlicensed driver charges in the year before her son's death.

According to the Free Beacon, Gallo was originally charged with vehicular homicide, but a judge later reduced the charge to misdemeanor murder. Rosenberg said Harris' office did not give him the date of the court hearing where Gallo's charges were reduced and initially denied his appeal of the reduced charges.

Harris' office eventually backed down and appealed to have the charges dropped, but the appeal was dismissed because it was filed in the wrong court, according to the Free Beacon. George Gascón, who succeeded Harris a month after Rosenberg's death, also declined to appeal.

Gallo was found guilty of Rosenberg's death and sentenced to six months in prison, but he was released after just 43 days, though Rosenberg said the district attorney's office didn't inform his family about his early release, according to the Free Beacon.

Harris' campaign is touting her record as a prosecutor and trying to pitch her as a tough prosecutor in contrast to former President Donald Trump, CNN reported. reportMany of Harris' deep-pocketed donors support efforts to undermine law enforcement and have backed George Soros' efforts to install left-leaning prosecutors across the United States.

According to the Free Beacon, Rosenberg, a former Harris supporter, tried to get in touch with Harris after she became California's attorney general. In February 2011, he wrote her a letter saying his son “voted for you for California's attorney general.”

“This will be the last vote of my son Drew's life,” Rosenberg wrote, requesting a meeting with the attorney general. Rosenberg said Harris declined his request for a meeting.

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
