San Mateo County's Board of Supervisors has delineated procedures to assess the removal of Sheriff Christina Corpus, anticipating a process lasting four to six months. The recent meeting revealed tensions, notably with Supervisor Jackie Speier questioning Corpus' previous absences. While Corpus did not speak, her attorney criticized the proposed removal process as unfair, alleging that certain supervisors should recuse themselves based on prior commitments to her candidacy and their potential bias stemming from an earlier 400-page report on her conduct.
"County contractor Alfonso Estrada suggested a removal process for Sheriff Christina Corpus that her attorney called unfair, asserting the board should not act as accuser and judge."
"Sheriff Corpus, present after months of absence, did not speak during the meeting, prompting Supervisor Speier to even question her absence on previous discussions about funding."
