Nieves lived with Mirkarimi for eight years. File photo by Luke Thomas.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>By Evelyn Nieves<\/strong>, <em>first published by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citireport.com\/2012\/10\/the-ross-m-story-the-chron-wont-publish\/\">CitiReport.com<\/a>, republished with permission<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>October 8, 2012<\/p>\n<p>For months, I\u2019ve watched as Ross Mirkarimi has been slandered as a \u201cwife beater\u201d\u2014by the Mayor of San Francisco, no less\u2014and vilified in the press based on lies, half-truths and innuendo. It has been heart-breaking, nauseating, to witness.<\/p>\n<p>I know for a fact that Ross is no abuser. He and I were a couple for eight years. For most of that time, we lived together. Not once did Ross even come close to making me feel unsafe in his presence. He never threatened me. He would walk away or cry \u201cuncle\u201d rather than argue. He simply had no stomach for it.<\/p>\n<p>When the news broke last January that Ross, newly elected as San Francisco\u2019s Sheriff but not yet sworn in, might be arrested on domestic violence charges, I was sure the accusation wouldn\u2019t stick. Not once people knew the facts.<\/p>\n<p>I was na\u00efve.<\/p>\n<p>By now, everyone knows that Ross and his wife, Eliana Lopez, got in an argument in their car on New Year\u2019s Eve. She wanted to take their toddler to her native Venezuela, and Ross, bereft the last time a one-month trip to Venezuela stretched into several, balked. Eliana moved to exit the car and Ross held her, a second too long, causing a bruise. Eliana called a friend and made a videotape of the bruise the next day in case she and Ross ended up in a custody battle. Four days later, without Ross\u2019s wife knowing, the friend called police.<\/p>\n<p>The hell that broke loose is worthy of an Errol Morris documentary. The San Francisco District Attorney, a political opponent, sent four investigators to interview all of Ross\u2019s neighbors. That never happens in a misdemeanor case\u2013it costs too much time and money. Anti-domestic violence advocates began calling for Ross\u2019s head even before he was charged.<\/p>\n<p>We all want to stop abusers in their tracks. But let\u2019s make sure we are properly identifying the abuser.<\/p>\n<p>Early on, in January, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/01\/13\/us\/public-concern-over-mirkarimis-private-matter.html?_r=0\">Bay Citizen<\/a> interviewed me. I expected the other local newspapers to contact me or pick up my quotes, which essentially said that Ross never, ever came close to abusing me. But no reporter from the local dailies that were splashing all kinds of hearsay on their front pages ever contacted me. This even after I contacted them to try to correct falsehoods being reported as fact.<\/p>\n<p>I was fully prepared to testify had Ross\u2019s case gone to trial. I knew facts that would contradict lies made to condemn him. I still wish the case had gone to trial. But at the time that Ross pled guilty to \u201cfalse imprisonment\u201d \u2013 for turning his car around to go home when the argument threatened to spill out into a restaurant he and his wife planned to enter \u2013 his lawyer told me she believed that Ross could not get a fair trial. The last straw was when the judge refused a change of venue.<\/p>\n<p>So Ross pleaded guilty so he could have his wife and son back, end the hysteria and try to go and do his job.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the Mayor used Ross\u2019s guilty plea as an excuse to suspend him without pay\u2014without any due process\u2014starting several more months\u2019 of investigation, interrogation and character assassination at Ethics Commission hearings. And for what? In the end, the five-member Ethics Commission, including one appointed by the mayor in the midst of the hearing, found Ross guilty of only one charge: grabbing his wife\u2019s arm. One member wondered what the people would say if they decided not to uphold the Mayor\u2019s rash suspension and declaration of \u201cofficial misconduct.\u201d Well, in the few times that I\u2019ve met with Ross in the last few months, he was stopped everywhere by people of every demographic group. Old, young, progressive, moderate, and of every ethnicity. All wanted to express their support and their contempt for what has happened to him. All blamed politics.<\/p>\n<p>I had not seen Ross much in the years since we parted. I moved to another side of the city, moved in different circles. But, in essence, he has not changed much. The last time I saw him before this case exploded was before Christmas. On a Saturday morning, Ross was in his District Five Supervisor uniform\u2014gray suit, white shirt, wingtips. He had already gone to one neighborhood meeting and was on his way to another, even though his official duties as supervisor were over and he was supposed to be on vacation. I kidded him about this, and he shrugged and said, \u201cWell, you know me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I do. And so I\u2019ll say with confidence that Ross does not deserve what he has endured. He deserves vindication, and the chance to do the job he was elected to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For months, I\u2019ve watched as Ross Mirkarimi has been slandered as a \u201cwife beater\u201d\u2014by the Mayor of San Francisco, no less\u2014and vilified in the press based on lies, half-truths and innuendo.
