"Retired Judge James Emerson has issued his much-anticipated report following the ten-day administrative hearing held before the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, which was held as part of a process to undertake the unprecedented removal of a sheriff."
"Following an administrative hearing in August, the retired judge overseeing the hearing has issued a 42-page opinion that essentially calls Sheriff Christina Corpus uncredible, and offers multiple grounds on which to remove her from office."
""Although vehemently denied by appellant and Victor Aenlle, the evidentiary record is highly suggestive that appellant Sheriff Corpus and Mr. Aenlle were in a romantic extra-marital relationship," Emerson writes in the report."
A retired judge issued a 42-page opinion finding Sheriff Christina Corpus provided uncredible testimony and identifying multiple grounds for removal. The opinion followed a ten-day administrative hearing before the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors under authority granted by a March special election. Multiple department members questioned the hiring and elevation of Victor Aenlle to a high-ranking position despite apparent lack of qualifications and a known romantic relationship with the sheriff. An independent review included allegations of derogatory and racist language and retaliatory behavior. The judge cited denials of the relationship as unconvincing and pointed to appointments and pay raises as bases for firing.
