ICE takes man in front of jail

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus suspects a man was taken by ICE after being released from jail.

Man had just been released

The man was detained by officers wearing ballistic vests and other gear typically worn by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on the sidewalk in front of Maguire Jail at 300 Bradford St. on Wednesday at 9:30 p.m., Corpus said. The Sheriff’s Office did not provide the name of the man who was detained or answer further questions.

PARAMOUNT MERGER OK’D:

Federal regulators yesterday approved Paramount’s $8 billion merger with Skydance, clearing the way to close a deal that combined Hollywood glitz with political intrigue. The merger comes after Paramount agreed to a $16 million settlement with the President in a lawsuit regarding “60 Minutes” coverage. CBS announced the cancelation of Late Night with Stephen Colbert last week, which many have said is retailation for him calling the settlement a bribe.

Sheriff hearings to be open

BY EMILY MIBACH Daily Post Managing Editor

San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus yesterday changed her mind and agreed to open a public hearing where she will appeal her firing by the Board of Supervisors.

Up until yesterday, Corpus had wanted the hearing closed. But the First Amendment Coalition, a nonprofit that advocates for open government, said it would sue if the hearing wasn’t open to the public.

The county said it wouldn’t defend the suit, which would have left it to Corpus and her attorneys to convince a court that the hearing ought to be closed.

The First Amendment Coalition had given Corpus until Wednesday at 5 p.m. to respond whether to open

Background checks for ammo illegal

A voter-backed California law requiring background checks for people who buy bullets is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday in a blow to the state’s efforts to combat gun violence. In upholding a 2024 ruling by a low-

er court, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals found that the state law violates the Second Amendment. Voters passed the law in 2016 and it took effect in 2019.

Many states, including California, make people pass a background check

before they can buy a gun. California went a step further by requiring a background check, which costs either $1 or $19 depending on eligibility, every time someone buys buy bullets.

Woman arrested after her brother’s death

A Palo Alto woman has been arrested after her brother, who she was caring for, died, police said yesterday.

Mary Alexander, 68, was arrested by Los Altos Police on suspicion of elder abuse resulting in death on after police responded to her brother’s home on the 1500 block of Holt Avenue, Sgt. Steven Spillman said. Police had responded on Tuesday to the brother’s

home on a call of a possible dead body, Spillman said. As police investigated the man’s death, which was deemed initially suspicious, Alexander was arrested, Spillman said.

She was booked into jail but has since been released, according to jail records.

Spillman said the investigation is still ongoing and could not release any further details at this time.

Police arrest 5 in jewelry robberies

Sunnyvale police have arrested five men on suspicion of attempted robbery and are investigating whether the men are connected to two recent jewelry store thefts in the last month.

Police on Wednesday were alerted to two stolen vehicles driving near Lawrence Expressway and Highway 101. Because of the recent jewelry store robberies, police began to look for the cars and found one of the cars about twenty minutes later, according to Capt. Jeromy Lima.

Chase, search

my Perez, 30, of San Francisco and Isaiah Iosia, 19, of San Francisco.

Police tried to pull over the car at El Camino Real and Wolfe Road, but the car sped up, and a short chase ensued before the car pulled over and five people ran into the nearby neighborhood, Lima said.

Sunnyvale and Santa Clara police searched the neighborhood near Fremont Avenue and Rembrandt Drive and were able to arrest five people — Isaiah Alapati, 19, of San Francisco; Tyler Ramirez, 33, of San Francisco; Jaiden Desouza, 19, of Oakland; Jere-

Police determined that the car the men were in had been involved in a recent conspiracy to commit a robbery at a jewelry store, Lima said.

Recent incidents

Sunnyvale has seen at least two jewelry store robberies this month.

The most recent was on July 18, when a vehicle rammed into a jewelry store on the 1000 block of East El Camino Real. But before the culprits could get inside, employees armed themselves and confronted the suspects, causing them to flee, police said at the time.

The other incident happened June 29, when a group of suspects rammed a stolen vehicle into a jewelry store on the 1000 block of East El Camino Real and smashed display cases before fleeing, police said at the time.

There was also a third burglary at a jewelry store on the 800 block of E. El Camino Real on March 29, where the culprits rammed into the building, but were confronted and fled.

Prosecutor urges murder conviction

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

A prosecutor told a Redwood City jury that while an East Palo Alto man accused of killing his tenant had succeeded in hiding the body, he urged them not to let him escape a murder conviction.

Deputy District Attorney Vishal Jangla said during closing statements yesterday that the evidence was clear that John Caisiano Thompson shot Breanna Labat.

Thompson, 47, is accused of killing Labat, 32, on Dec. 2, 2022, after an argument broke out.

“It was me. I think I know who snitched on me,” are the words of someone who isn’t innocent, Jangla said. “You need to hold him responsible.”

Labat’s body had not been found. Jangla said that after Labat got a job at FedEx that could’ve helped her get on her feet, she stopped appearing. After Dec. 2, 2022, she was marked as “No

call, no show,” but how was she supposed to call if she was dead, Jangla said.

FedEx called Labat three times to pick up her paycheck, but an investigation revealed that her phone did not move after 10:30 p.m. on Dec. 2, 2022, Jangla said.

Labat left behind her ID, birth certificate, medications, a backpack, her wallet and a puffer jacket that she would always wear to work in Thompson’s home, Jangla said.

Argument escalates

An argument broke out between Thompson and Labat on Dec. 2, 2022, after he was questioning her about rent and why she wasn’t taking care of his child, Jangla said. Labat had been Thompson’s tenant for a short time and would babysit his 2-year-old in exchange for rent.

During the heated argument, Labat broke a stroller and Thompson went out onto the porch but turned around and shot her four times, Jangla said

In the home was Delano Els, Thompson’s friend, and Edward Quinn, who would give Labat rides to and from work. Els was asking Quinn for a ride home when they heard gunshots. Both Els and Quinn testified that they saw Labat’s dead body as they ran out of Thompson’s home that night, Jangla said.

Defense’s case

Thompson’s attorney, Geoff Carr, claims it wasn’t Thompson who shot Labat but either Els or Quinn. Jangla said that Els wouldn’t have gone home with Quinn if he were the murderer.

It was hard for Els and Quinn to testify in front of Thompson compared to being questioned by the police, as they were fearful of what Thomspons would do if they snitched, Jangla told the jury.

On Monday, Thompson’s neighbor, Elizabeth Axiak, testified that he told her he was responsible for the gunshots she heard that night. In tears, Axiak described him as more than a neighbor but a brother.

Thompson admitted to cleaning up the mess that was left after the shooting and told Axiak he disposed of floorboards with blood and markings throughout the area — some in a Home Depot dumpster, others in a creek.

Search for evidence

On Dec. 13, 2022, police and detectives searched the home with a warrant and found the indentations gone, and the flooring was in the process of being replaced, according to Jangla. Two areas of blood and two bullet holes in the living room were found and 9 mm casings, Jangla said.

Through investigations, it was found that Thompson browsed websites such as “Notable Murders Without A Body,” “How to clean a Glock 19” and “No Corpse? No Problem,” Jangla said.

Thompson was arrested on Dec. 30, 2022, and pleaded innocent to first-degree murder. He remains in jail without bail.

Closing statements from Carr will continue today.

Questions with senior care? Ask Vanessa

Dear Vanessa,

I know my parents need help at home—they’re slowing down, missing medications, and I’m worried about their safety. But every time I bring up the idea of hiring support, they shut down or get defensive. How do I help them without pushing too hard or making them feel like they’re losing their independence? Danielle POSITION CARE AS A SUPPORT SYSTEM, NOT A SURRENDER. LET

Dear Danielle,

This is one of the most common—and most emotionally complex—questions I hear. Thank you for naming it with honesty. What you’re describing is something many adult children quietly wrestle with: watching the people who once cared for you begin to need care themselves, while still wanting to honor their pride, their identity, and their right to choose.

In my experience, I’ve learned that resistance rarely stems from stubbornness alone. More often, it comes from fear—fear of losing control, fear of being a burden, fear of becoming invisible in a world that often overlooks aging

adults. Accepting help feels like a loss of self to some people. So when you bring up care, what your parents might actually be hearing is, “You can’t take care of yourselves anymore.” Even if that’s not what you’re saying.

The key is to shift the narrative—from loss to empowerment. Instead of “you need help,” try “I want you to keep doing the things you love, safely. Let’s find someone who can make that possible.” Position care as a support system, not a surrender. Let them feel included in the decision, even if you’re guiding it.

You can also begin small. Sometimes, inviting a caregiver in for light help with errands or companionship is less intimidating than jumping straight to full-time support. Starting with short, trial visits or care framed as “just for recovery” or “to take pressure off you” can open the door.

And above all, listen. Ask them what worries them about receiving care. Let them express their fears without trying to fix them right away. The more they feel heard, the more likely they are to eventually soften.

You don’t have to solve everything overnight. This is a journey—of trust, patience, and sometimes, gentle persistence. But keep showing up with love, honesty, and respect for their dignity. That combination will do more than any argument ever could.

Trump, Powell bicker in tour of Fed renovations

After months of criticizing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, President Donald Trump took the fight to the Fed’s front door on Thursday, publicly scorning the central bank chief over the ballooning costs of a long-planned building project. Powell pushed back, challenging the president’s latest price tag as incorrect.

Wearing hard hats and grim faces, standing in the middle of the construction project, Trump and Powell addressed the assembled TV cameras. Trump charged that the renovation would cost $3.1 billion, much higher than the Fed’s $2.5 billion figure. Powell, standing next to him, shook his head.

The Fed chair, after looking at a paper presented to him by Trump, said the president was including the cost of renovating a separate Fed building, known as the Martin building, that was finished five years ago.

Pressure campaign

The visit represented a significant ratcheting up of the president’s pressure on Powell to lower borrowing costs, which Trump says would accelerate economic growth and reduce the government’s interest payments. Presidents rarely visit the Fed’s offices, though they are just a few blocks from the White House, an example

of the central bank’s independence from day-to-day politics.

“We have to get the interest rates down,” Trump said later after a short tour, addressing the cameras this time without Powell. “People are pretty much unable to buy houses.”

Trump is likely to be disappointed next week, however, when Fed officials will meet to decide its next steps on interest rates. Powell and other officials have signaled they will likely keep their key rate unchanged at about 4.3%. However, economists and Wall Street investors expect the Fed may start cutting rates in September.

Fresh basil pesto has come to define much of what Americans like best about Italian cooking. This simple blend of basil, garlic and olive oil, so easy to make, brings a bold depth of flavor to every dish it comes to. The miracle of a well-made pesto is its versatility.

Simply slathered on a crust of bread or spooned over a slice of fresh tomato, it can make you swoon with delight. Tossed with pasta or into a risotto, it is perfect. Forked into a hot baked potato or folded into a cheese omelet, pesto works wonders. I could go on.

The name Pesto is derived from the Italian verb ‘pestare’ meaning ‘to pound’ or ‘to crush’ and refers to anything that is pounded, typically in a mortar and pestle, to a puree. In a modern Italian household, it would not be unheard of to make pesto with a mortar and pestle, but it would not be the norm. If you’ve ever used a mortar and pestle, you’d know why. At Howie’s we use a bar blender to make pesto, making preparation quick and so easy.

We blanch our basil (and parsley). Blanching breaks down the enzymes in the basil leaves that promote oxidation and cause discoloration. All restaurants do this. Our recipe calls for pine nuts, a traditional ingredient in pesto. Pine nuts are oddly expensive these days and are often hard to find in retail shops. It’s okay to substitute raw, unsalted cashews. The pine nuts don’t contribute any flavor to the pesto, but rather they aid in emulsifying the sauce. Lastly, we freeze our pesto immediately after preparation in portion size containers and you should too. Pesto loses its vibrancy in only a matter of hours.

Suspects in theft, fraud ring nabbed

Authorities in Santa Clara County have arrested three people in connection with a series of organized burglaries and an identity theft ring that stretched across the San Francisco Bay Area, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

The investigation began after a Cupertino family returned home on June 20 to find their residence burglarized. Nearly $18,000 in jewelry and electronics were missing, along with the family’s 2019 Porsche Cayenne and 2024 Porsche Taycan and their key fobs.

Detectives later linked the stolen vehicles to other crimes in San Jose and surrounding areas. One of the cars was allegedly involved in a police chase in the city of Santa Clara, the Sheriff’s Office said.

“This case showed how quickly a single crime can tie into broader networks of theft and fraud,” said Detective Roslyn Weatherall, who led the investigation.

Surveillance footage from homes and businesses led investigators to a San Jose hotel. On July 17, deputies

staged a takedown outside the Hayes Mansion Hotel and arrested Emillano Ontiveros, 39, and Brandi French, 26, both of San Jose. A third suspect, Kevin Monge, 36, was also taken into custody.

Trove found

A search of the suspects’ hotel room allegedly uncovered a trove of stolen and counterfeit items, including 500 pieces of stolen mail, 200 checks, 24 counterfeit driver’s licenses, 25 stolen credit cards, 12 Social Security cards, four shaved vehicle keys, three DMV vehicle registrations, two passports, a birth certificate, counterfeit currency, 24 grams of suspected methamphetamine and a key fob to one of the stolen Porsches.

Both luxury vehicles were recovered and investigators were able to return many of the stolen items to victims. Among the recovered property was a sentimental piece of jewelry belonging to the Cupertino couple — a gift the husband had given his wife when they first met.

Ontiveros and French were booked on suspicion of burglary and receiving stolen property. All three suspects are also accused of identity theft, check fraud, possession of burglary tools and drug offenses. They remain in custody at the Santa Clara County Main Jail.

Key facts to know about Parkinson’s

Heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne died this week at 76, just weeks after his farewell show and about five years after announcing he had Parkinson’s disease.

Here’s what to know about the disease:

What is Parkinson’s?

Parkinson’s is a neurologic disease that robs people of control over their movements. It typically starts with tremors and is characterized by slow movement, a shuffling gait, stiff limbs, balance problems and slurred speech. It usually appears after age 60.

What causes Parkinson’s?

The exact cause isn’t known, but Parkinson’s develops when cells that produce one of the brain’s chemical messengers, called dopamine, begin to deteriorate and die.

According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, most experts believe genetic and environmental factors are behind the disease.

Is there a cure?

There is no cure but there are treatments, including medications that affect dopamine levels and a surgically implanted tremor-blocking device.

Fertility rate at new low

The fertility rate in the U.S. dropped to an all-time low in 2024 with less than 1.6 kids per woman, new federal data released yesterday shows.

The U.S. was once among only a few developed countries with a rate that ensured each generation had enough children to replace itself — about 2.1 kids per woman. But it has been sliding in the U.S. for close to two decades as more women wait longer to have children or never taking that step at all.

Alarmed by recent drops, the Trump administration has taken steps to increase falling birth rates, like issuing an executive order meant to expand access to and reduce costs of in vitro fertilization and backing “baby bonuses.”

Fertility delay

But there’s no reason to be alarmed, according to Leslie Root, a University of Colorado Boulder researcher focused on fertility and population policy.

“We’re seeing this as part of an ongoing process of fertility delay. We know that the U.S. population is still growing, and we still have a natural increase — more births than deaths,” she said.

In the early 1960s, the U.S. total fertility rate was around 3.5, but plummeted to 1.7 by 1976 after the Baby Boom ended. It gradually rose to 2.1 in 2007 before falling again, aside from a 2014 uptick. The rate in 2023 was 1.621, and inched down in 2024 to 1.599.

Pro wrestling icon Hulk Hogan dies

Hulk Hogan, the mustachioed, headscarf-wearing, bicep-busting icon of professional wrestling who turned the sport into a massive business and stretched his influence into TV, pop culture and conservative politics during a long and scandal-plagued second act, died yesterday in Florida at age 71.

Hogan was pronounced dead at a hospital less than 90 minutes after medics in Clearwater arrived at his home to answer a morning call about a cardiac arrest, police said.

“There were no signs of foul play or suspicious activity,” Maj. Nate Burnside told reporters.

WWE’s biggest name

Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, was perhaps the biggest star in WWE’s long history. He was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even WWE co-founder Vince McMahon.

But outside the ring, Hogan also found trouble. WWE in 2015 cut ties with him for three years, even removing him from its Hall of Fame, after it was reported that he was recorded using racial slurs about Blacks. He apologized and said his words were “unacceptable.”

Hogan won at least six WWE championships and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005 and reinstated

there in 2018. WWE matches are now held in professional sports stadiums, and millions of fans have watched the company’s weekly live television program, “Raw,” which debuted in January on Netflix.

“He was a trailblazer, the first performer who transitioned from being a wrestling star into a global phenomenon,” McMahon said of Hogan.

Hogan’s brand of passion “Hulkamania,” as the energy he created was called, started running wild in the mid-1980s and pushed professional wrestling into the mainstream. He was

a flag-waving American hero with the horseshoe mustache, red and yellow gear and massive arms he called his “24-inch pythons.” Crowds were hysterical when he ripped off his T-shirt in the ring — a trademark move — revealing a tan, sculpted body.

Hogan was also a celebrity outside the wrestling world, appearing in numerous movies and television shows, including a reality show about his life on VH1, “Hogan Knows Best.”

Political foray

In recent years, Hogan added his celebrity to politics. At the 2024 Re-

publican National Convention, he merged classic WWE maneuvers with then-candidate Donald Trump’s rhetoric to passionately endorse him for president.

“Let Trumpamania run wild brother! Let Trumpamania rule again! Let Trumpamania make America great again!” Hogan shouted into the raucous crowd.

He ripped off a T-shirt emblazoned with a picture of himself on a motorcycle to reveal a bright red Trump-Vance campaign shirt underneath. Trump stood to applaud the move.

“We lost a great friend today, the “Hulkster,”” Trump said yesterday on Truth Social. “Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart.”

Gawker lawsuit

In 2016, a Florida jury awarded Hogan $115 million in a lawsuit against Gawker Media and then added $25 million in punitive damages.

Hogan sued after Gawker in 2012 obtained and posted video of him having sex with his former best friend’s wife. He said the post violated his privacy.

Hogan ended up settling the case for millions less after Gawker filed for bankruptcy.

There was other fallout. The litigation led to the discovery that Hogan had used racial slurs on the tape.

Rerelease set for

‘lost’ 1973 record

They’re not going their own way anymore. After much speculation, Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have announced the reissue of “Buckingham Nicks,” more than 50 years after the release of their only full-length album as a duo.

Originally released in 1973, “Buckingham Nicks” is not currently available on streaming platforms.

According to Discogs, the album was last issued on vinyl on the Polydor label in the U.S. in 1981. The remastered version arrives Sept. 19 via Rhino Records’ high-fidelity series and was sourced from the original analog master tapes. The album will also receive a CD and digital release for the first time, and the opening track, “Crying in the Night,” was available to stream Wednesday.

Buckingham and Nicks, who first met at Menlo-Atherton High School, were in their early to mid-20s during the making of their album. “It was a very natural thing, from the beginning,” Nicks says in the re-release’s liner notes, written by music journalist David Fricke.

‘BUCKINGHAM NICKS’

Despite their relative inexperience, “it stands up in a way you would hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work,” Buckingham says, according to the announcement release.

The reissue announcement was foreshadowed by cryptic Instagram posts last week.

“And if you go forward…” Nicks posted, a line from their song “Frozen Love.”

“I’ll meet you there,” Buckingham shared, completing the lyric.

AMMO ––––

Benitez decided that the law was unconstitutional because if people can’t buy bullets, they can’t use their guns for self-defense.

The 9th Circuit agreed. Writing for two of the three judges on the appellate panel, Judge Sandra Segal Ikuta said the state law “meaningfully constrains” the constitutional right to keep arms by forcing gun owners to get rechecked before each purchase of bullets.

“The right to keep and bear arms incorporates the right to operate them, which requires ammunition,” the judge wrote.

Newsom upset

Gov. Gavin Newsom, who supported the background checks, decried the court’s decision.

“Strong gun laws save lives — and (yesterday’s) decision is a slap in the face to the progress California has made in recent years to keep its communities safer from gun violence,” Newsom said in a statement. “Californians voted to require background checks on ammunition and their voices should matter.”

Pistol association pleased Chuck Michel, president and general counsel of the California Rifle & Pistol Association, called the law “absurdly restrictive.”

“This case has been a long hard fight against overreaching government gun control, but a firearm cannot be effective without the ammunition to make it operable. The state of California continues to try to strip our rights, and we continue to prove their actions are unconstitutional.”

Benitez had criticized the state’s automated background check system, which he said rejected about 11% of applicants, or 58,087 requests, in the first half of 2023.

What it was for

California’s law was meant to help police find people who have guns illegally, such as convicted felons, people with certain mental illnesses and people with some domestic violence convictions.

mation about inmates. When Corpus ran for sheriff, she said she would end the practice of handing over inmates to ICE. Her predecessor, Carlos Bolanos, ended the practice months before the November 2022 election.

“The public must know that the county’s policy is to not cooperate with ICE and that our jails are not a pipeline for deportation,” County Board President David Canepa said in a statement.

The county has a policy, along with the sheriff and state law that prohibits employees from cooperating with ICE.

Occurred in Santa Clara County

In June, three ICE agents detained a man who was scheduled to be released at the Elmwood Correctional jail in Milpitas, according to the county of Santa Clara.

That month, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office observed an increase in ICE presence at the jail and the superior court.

Rapid Response, a nonprofit specializes in assisting people with encounters with ICE, did not respond to the Post’s inquiry to confirm that the man was detained by ICE.

DHS’ list

In May, the Department of Homeland Security published a list of counties and cities on notice that the Trump administration views them as obstructing immigration enforcement as it attempts to increase pressure on communities it believed were standing in the way of the president’s mass deportation agenda.

San Mateo and Santa Clara counties and the cities of Menlo Park and Mountain View were on the list published on the department’s website.

Each county and city was to receive a notification that the government has deemed them as noncompliant and if they are believed to be in violation of any federal criminal statutes.

However, the list disappeared from DHS’s website and most cities and counties listed on the website were never contacted by DHS.

OPEN –––––

the hearing. Almost 24 hours after the nonprofit’s deadline, Corpus emailed a letter to the county and the press saying she will agree to an open hearing.

Corpus said in her statement that this decision is “her choice and hers alone.”

“The people of San Mateo County deserve to hear the truth directly, not filtered through political agendas, biased narratives, or closed-door deliberations.”

The hearing is scheduled to begin Aug. 18 and run until Aug. 29.

Is she protected?

Corpus has argued through her attorneys that she has the right to a private hearing under the Peace Officer Bill of Rights, a set of state laws that give police certain rights in disciplinary and criminal proceedings.

The First Amendment Coalition countered that those privacy protections don’t apply to Corpus because she is an elected official.

In her letter, Corpus did not mention the First Amendment Coalition’s threatened lawsuit, or the legal basis for opening the hearing.

“Until now, Sheriff Corpus has refrained from fully responding to her accusers out of respect for employee privacy and a desire to maintain the integrity of internal processes,” she wrote, writing in the third person. “But the time has come to bring the truth to light.”

Of public interest

David Loy, legal director of the First Amendment Coalition, said he’s happy that the sheriff has agreed to open hearings, as this is an issue of “overwhelming” interest to San Mateo County residents.

“Our only interest is in defending the public’s right to see itself the evidence, allegations, argument and cross-examination. To see that in real time, so the press can report on it and the public can form their own opinions,” Loy said. “People don’t tend to trust what they can’t see.”

Loy said his outstanding question is whether the entire hearing will be open to the public or if the two sides can close portions of the hearing or file certain records under seal. He wants to

know who decides who would make those decisions — the hearing officer or someone else.

County Attorney John Nibbelin saidin a letter to the coalition on Monday that it’s likely that parts of the hearing will need to be closed to “protect people other than the sheriff.”

In a previous board meeting, supervisors added protection to witnesses who may fear retaliation.

The Post asked county officials yesterday evening about who will determine what portions of the hearing will be closed, but did not hear back.

Supes want her out

The Board of Supervisors has voted to fire her on allegations detailed in two reports by outside investigators and findings from a private hearing that Probation Officer John Keene presided over. Those investigators said she was engaged in nepotism, retaliation, intimidation, conflicts of interest, ordering a false arrest and making racial and homophobic slurs.

Corpus asked for a hearing to appeal the supervisors’ decision, but her lawyers have insisted that it be closed to the public.

If Corpus and the county had been sued by the First Amendment Coalition, it would have been the sixth lawsuit filed regarding the sheriff’s possible removal.

Federal suit

Corpus filed a lawsuit in federal court on July 15, alleging the county’s attempt to remove her from office through the voter-approved Measure A is a sham “tainted by bias” and has given her no opportunity to be heard. A hearing is set for Aug. 7 before Judge Vince Chhabria.

Civil grand jury accusation

Separately, the county civil grand jury has filed an “accusation” against her and it will lead to a trial. A conviction will result in her removal from office.

Corpus is expected to appear for her next hearing on Aug. 6. The case is assigned to Judge Mark McCannon in San Mateo County Superior Court in Redwood City. McCannon will set a trial date and preside over the trial. She is entitled to a trial by jury on the accusations.
