Photos by Luke Thomas.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>By <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/author\/luke\/\">Luke Thomas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>March 15, 2012<\/p>\n<p>With the ink barely dry on a signed plea agreement with prosecutors following embattled Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi\u2019s admission of guilt Monday to one misdemeanor count of false imprisonment over an alleged domestic violence incident involving his wife, Eliana Lopez, on New Year\u2019s Eve &#8211; a coalition of mostly female anti-domestic violence advocates today demanded Mirkarimi resign or be removed from office.<\/p>\n<p>The same group called on Mirkarimi to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/3305\/domestic-violence-consortium-calls-for-mirkarimi-resignation-wife-makes-cameo\/\">step down<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n<p>Calling the Sheriff \u201ca national embarrassment,\u201d Kathy Black, the executive director of La Case de las Madres, a shelter dedicated to victims of domestic violence, told a bevy of reporters gathered on the steps of City Hall, \u201cI think it would be best for everybody involved if he would step aside. If Sheriff Mirkarimi will not do the right thing, then the mayor and the Board of Supervisors must.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->\u201cThe bottom line is we feel it would be improper for San Francisco\u2019s Sheriff to be overseeing programs and imposing domestic violence sentencing on inmates when he was convicted under similar circumstances,\u201d Black added.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2012\/casa_de_las_madres_mirkarimi_20120315\/mw2w9577_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">La Casa de las Madres Executive Director Kathy Black.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Asked if Mirkarimi is entitled to \u201can opportunity for redemption and rehabilitation,\u201d Beverly Upton of the San Francisco Domestic Violence Consortium, told <em>Fog City<\/em>: \u201cWe believe everybody can change. We believe almost anybody can change and he\u2019s going to be given that opportunity. It is a gift that he\u2019s getting 52 weeks to change his behavior, parenting classes \u2013 so much better than being in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pressed further, Upton added, \u201cDo you want our chief jailer to be somebody whose been convicted of false imprisonment? That breaks my trust and I think it\u2019s going to break the trust of a lot of San Franciscans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Ed Lee, who has the authority to suspend Mirkarimi while the Ethics Commission determines whether Mirkarimi\u2019s conviction rises to the standard of official misconduct under the city charter, said he would make a decision following Mirkarimi\u2019s formal sentencing on Monday. Lee said his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/3481\/overheard-on-fog-city-is-mirkarimi-guilty-of-official-misconduct\/\">assessment of the facts<\/a> includes consideration of whether Mirkarimi\u2019s actions on New Year\u2019s Eve constitutes an act against the public.<\/p>\n<p>Court documents paint a picture of a couple experiencing marriage difficulties with concerns over a possible divorce and child custody battle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it something against the public?\u201d Lee said to a flock of reporters on Monday. \u201cI mean, that is part of the determination of official misconduct is having done something in that office that would degrade the functioning of that office or the functioning of that position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In exchange for Mirkarimi\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/3479\/sheriff-mirkarimi-pleads-guilty-to-false-imprisonment\/\">plea agreement<\/a>, prosecutors dropped three misdemeanor charges of domestic violence, child endangerment and dissuading a witness. His sentence includes three years probation, 100 hours of community service, 52 weeks of domestic violence classes, and $590 in court fines. A stay away order imposed in January remains in effect subject to a Family court order.<\/p>\n<p>But District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n signaled today Mirkarimi could still face a criminal trial based on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/cgi-bin\/article.cgi?f=\/c\/a\/2012\/03\/14\/BAD81NK8FK.DTL\">recent comments<\/a> Mirkarimi made to <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20141024171433\/http:\/\/www.sfbg.com\/politics\/2012\/03\/12\/why-mirkarimi-pled-guilty\">media outlets<\/a> since agreeing to the plea deal. The comments suggest Mirkarimi pled out of concern for his family\u2019s well-being and mounting legal costs. Mirkarimi&#8217;s defense team had also sought and failed to exclude from evidence a video taken by Lopez\u2019 neighbor, Ivory Madison, on January 1, which shows a bruise on Lopez\u2019 right arm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a guilty plea here, and I know there&#8217;s almost an attempt (by Mirkarimi) to deny that this has occurred: &#8216;I didn&#8217;t really do this. I&#8217;m being forced to do this.&#8217; That&#8217;s very concerning to me, to be very honest with you,&#8221; Gasc\u00f3n said in a meeting with <em>The San Francisco Chronicle<\/em> editorial board.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to address this on Monday because we&#8217;re not in the custom, not in the habit, of taking a guilty plea from somebody who is not guilty,&#8221; he added. &#8220;If the defendant in this case believes he is not guilty, then we should go to trial and let a jury decide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mirkarimi has promised a full explanation of the events surrounding the altercation with his wife. That explanation is expected immediately following his sentencing on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Mirkarimi was not available to comment for this story, his spokesperson said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calling the Sheriff \u201ca national embarrassment,\u201d Cathy Black, the executive director of Case De Las Madres, a shelter dedicated to victims of domestic violence, told a bevy of reporters gathered on the steps of City Hall, \u201cI think it would be best for everybody involved if he would step aside.
