Overview

• Sheriff Christina Corpus testified on the final day, grew emotional, and denied wrongdoing, saying she has acted with integrity.
• County attorneys said the evidence is compelling, citing reports that recommend removal over alleged retaliation and a conflict involving her chief of staff, Victor Aenlle.
• Corpus argued personnel moves were operational decisions and that hiring a civilian aligned with modern policing rather than reflecting a conflict of interest.
• Allies testified to her leadership and raised concerns about bias against her as a Latina, while the county’s spokesperson summarized a forceful closing argument for removal.
• The recommendation is nonbinding under the county’s Measure A process, and supervisors have up to 30 days after it is issued to decide whether to remove her.
