S.F. sheriff likely to face misdemeanor charge (SF Chronicle)
It's looking likely that San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón will file misdemeanor domestic violence charges against newly sworn-in Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi.
Prosecutors are "convinced this is very real," said a source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.
The case stems from a New Year's Eve incident in which Mirkarimi allegedly grabbed his wife - former Venezuelan telenovela star Eliana Lopez - with enough force to leave a bruise.
