KQED Public Radio's Forum show this morning spoke with Ross Mirkarimi. In an emotional hour-long segment, Mirkarimi gave his account of the New Year's Eve fight with his wife, Eliana Lopez, which led to his guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of false imprisonment, his suspension as sheriff by Mayor Ed Lee, and the current attempt by Lee to remove him permanently from office for official misconduct.

The San Francisco Ethics Commission is scheduled to hold a special meeting on Apr 23 to decide whether to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that the charges against Mirkarimi be sustained. Mirkarimi would be removed from office if 9 of 11 supervisors vote to do so. Mirkarimi is also challenging the suspension and the misconduct charges in court.

Mirkarimi didn't want to talk about his ex girlfriend Flores.

She also left a comment in that article.  You know Marv Albert, the NBA sportscaster had a similar ordeal.  He had fornication with a woman and had a lingerie wearing fetish. 

He was fired from his job and went to a public trial with his fiance by his side.  Right around the time when the girlfriend was about to testify, or testified and was going to testify more, Albert pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and they ended the trial.

Later on he married his fiance who was attending his trial daily and then applied and got his old job back and has been announcing games ever since.

Whether it is a little bit of this and a little bit of that, or not, the only thing than can be salvaged and seems what Mirkarimi is trying to salavge is his political career and future, not his current job.  I think he'll have to start fresh and work his way back up, perhaps working for a campaign or something.   

Everything is sacred
