Christina Corpus
Sheriff Christina Corpus appeared in court on Monday for a conference in the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury case against her, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
The case was continued to Aug. 6 to set future dates where both Corpus’ defense and prosecutors will be able to make motions, Wagstaffe said.
Corpus was formally accused by the civil grand jury June 27. The accusation included conclusions made following a monthslong hearing where 32 witnesses, including Corpus, testified under oath. This is the first time such a record of evidence regarding the sheriff has been provided by any involved party under penalty of perjury.
The transcript of that testimony, which sits at around 2,000 pages, is set to be filed by the court reporter July 28, Wagstaffe said, and won’t become public until 10 days after it’s filed.
The upcoming hearing Aug. 6, could be an opportunity for the defense to try and get the transcript sealed from the public, among other motions, however, Corpus’ lawyer Thomas Mazzucco did not respond to request for comment.
The misconduct alleged against Corpus include one count of conflict of interest for the hiring and supervision of Victor Aenlle, Corpus’ former chief of staff with whom she allegedly had a romantic relationship.
Other allegations include three counts of retaliation, including the firing of former Assistant Sheriff Ryan Monaghan, the transfer of former Capt. Brian Philip, and the arrest of deputy Carlos Tapia, the president of the Deputy Sheriff’s Association and key whistleblower against Corpus’ administration.
Mazzucco said in a previous statement that the allegation stems from “politically motivated complaints” raised by union leaders in the Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s legal team gave no additional comment Tuesday.
The Board of Supervisors is also going through removal proceedings with an under-oath evidentiary hearing held in front of retired Judge James Emerson, set to be held from Aug. 18 to Aug. 29. The board unanimously voted Corpus out of office at a special meeting June 24. The governing body was granted by voters in March the extended authority to remove an elected sheriff for just cause, a reaction to ongoing scandal and concern over Sheriff’s Office personnel operating under duress and fear of retaliation at the hand of their leader.

P.S. What is Corpus’s end game? (A substantial pay out?) Other than filing lawsuits, what steps has she taken to gain the trust, confidence and support of the hard working members of the Sheriff’s Office? Over the years, the Sheriff’s Office has had their ups and downs. What we are experiencing under the Corpus regime is unprecedented.
Did Corpus and her “entourage” enter from the back hallway through the Judge’s door?
