From San Francisco Chronicle, Matier and Ross column, 1/19/12. "In an emotional interview on Venezuelan radio, the wife of embattled San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi vehemently denied she had been abused by her husband and said he was the "victim of very dirty politics." "I am not a little Indian girl gringo victim," former Venezuelan telenovela star Eliana Lopez told the Caracas station Noticias24 on Tuesday, four days after Mirkarimi was accused of three misdemeanor charges.
The charges - domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness - stem from an incident that took place at the couple's Western Addition home on New Year's Eve in which Mirkarimi allegedly bruised Lopez's arm. Lopez told a neighbor, who went to police, authorities say. Lopez told reporters Friday at City Hall that "I don't have any complaint against my husband. We are together, and we are fighting this."
In the 20-minute, Spanish-language interview with Noticias24, Lopez said that what happened New Year's Eve was much more complex than has been reported. She said "the richest people in California are behind" an attempt to ruin her husband, according to a Chronicle translation of the interview.
Lopez suggested that her husband's progressive stances on jail issues - his desire to break the "vicious cycle" of incarceration of minorities, the homeless and mentally ill - made him unpopular with certain elements in the city. "They couldn't win the election, so they fired this up as a way to take him down," she said. "They want to destroy his credibility. ... They know this is a political persecution."

she's conflicted. she made sure she had evidence against her own husband in case he tried to take their child from her. she's not stupid. I just wonder if he begged and cried to her pleading that he will never threaten her again. too late. we can not have a sheriff with this much drama and evidence of a very unstable home environment. the right thing for mirkarimi to do is step down. there is no conspiracy and mrs mirkarimi needs to stop with the blame game.
Of course there's drama at Casa Mirkirimi. He's a freakin SF politician and she acted in telenovelas in Venezuela. The perfect SF Power Couple! Ed Lee's kinda dull--we need these two.
On good info, he threatened her on voice mail that he is a very powerful man and she better be careful. The dude is toast.
Aww, he was kidding. She always calls him "her very powerful man".
It's how they play.
