County Executive Mike Callagy took the stand for the removal hearing of Sheriff Christina Corpus on Wednesday, raising the nuanced dynamic between the manager of San Mateo County and its top elected law enforcement officer. 

Callagy was accused early on by the sheriff’s attorneys as the one in the county who engaged in misconduct, abused his power and undermined Corpus’ authority. He claims that he did what he could to support Corpus — like voting for her to be the first Latina sheriff in the county — and keep the county’s best interest in mind.
