San Mateo County supervisors will consider taking final action to remove embattled Sheriff Christina Corpus from office.

Supervisors will meet at Tuesday’s board meeting to discuss the potential removal of Corpus after a judge sent a letter to the board last week, which noted a “preponderance of evidence” supporting grounds for removal of the elected sheriff.

Judge James Emerson sent his advisory opinion 38 days after a two-week hearing he oversaw. The hearing, which was a part of the board’s lengthy process to determine if there was cause for removal, featured testimony from dozens of witnesses and gave Corpus the opportunity to defend herself.

Tuesday’s meeting will be the culmination of nearly a year of public turmoil plaguing Corpus and the sheriff’s office.
