Ross Mirkarimi: San Francisco sheriff to keep his job
: San Francisco's embattled sheriff will keep his job, despite his guilty plea to a misdemeanor false imprisonment charge stemming from a New Year's Eve dispute with his actress wife.
Four of the 11-member Board of Supervisors voted late Tuesday against upholding official misconduct charges against Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi. A minimum of nine votes were needed to oust him.
When the vote was announced, Mirkarimi supporters burst into cheers. The sheriff kissed his wife, Venezuelan actress Eliana Lopez, who began crying with joy. The couple hugged their lawyers, then were swarmed by well-wishers.
"The system worked in this case," Mirkarimi said outside the board chambers. "It took us a long way to get here. It has not been easy."
Mirkarimi was elected last fall and was mired in controversy before his swearing-in ceremony.
In March, Mayor Ed Lee suspended him without pay after the sheriff pleaded guilty to a charge related to the dispute with his wife, who suffered a bruised bicep. Lee replaced Mirkarimi with interim sheriff Vicki Hennessy.
Mirkarimi was sentenced to three years of probation and fined. He is undergoing court-ordered counseling and parenting classes >>

I'm glad it's over and he got his job back. I had argued that he'll not be re-instated but now that he has, good for him! I never liked that SOB Mayor of SF who is now going to be booted because he wasted so much of tax payers money and acted like an ass.
Mirkarimi is of course not without the blame. I hope he uses this occasion to apologize and move forward. He fought hard and won despite all odds. I wish him the best, good luck!
Everything is sacred
