EXCLUSIVE: Defense attorneys for the man accused of attacking former SF Fire Commissioner Don Carmignani say the person shown in this video bear spraying a homeless person in the face appears to be Carmignani.

The video, taken in November 2021, is part of a trove of new evidence… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
"The district attorney and the police now have reason to believe that Mr. Carmignani was involved in eight separate acts of violence," Kleigh Hathaway, defense lawyer for Carmignani’s alleged attacker, said Wednesday.

"In all of them, the victims are not housed, the victims are… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The new evidence may jeopardize the district attorney’s case against Garrett Doty, who allegedly assaulted Carmignani.

Here’s a roundup of what we know so far. ⬇️ (3/11)
sfstandard.com/criminal-justi…
On April 5, Don Carmignani was struck outside his mother's Marina District home by a homeless person and hospitalized with serious injuries.

The case gained national attention as pictures of Carmignani’s wounds and videos of the attack circulated on social media in the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
"My son Don was beaten by two men with a steel pipe last night on Laguna Street and Lombard Street," read a Nextdoor post by Carmignani’s mother, Joan, thanking the neighbors who got involved, stopped the fight and called 911.

"If they were not there my son would be dead!"… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
SF Supervisor Catherine Stefani (@Stefani4CA) decried the incident, which occurred in her district.

"Right now, one of my dear friends is in the hospital," she said. "We’re 55 officers short in the Northern Station…I believe this is a direct result of the fact that we do not… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@Stefani4CA Shortly after the attack, police arrested Doty, 24, and booked him on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and battery causing serious bodily injury. (7/11)
sfstandard.com/criminal-justi…
But the new evidence may be shifting DA @BrookeJenkinsSF’s thoughts on the case.

The new evidence consists of police reports and videos from several incidents in the area in which a man bear-sprayed homeless people.

It also includes a video Doty’s lawyers say shows that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@BrookeJenkinsSF Hathaway said she received eight police reports Tuesday showing that an unidentified man bear-sprayed homeless people in separate incidents around the Marina between November 2021 and January 2023.

The man reportedly told his victims: "Get the fuck out of my town," and "you… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Carmignani is not named in any of the police reports, Hathaway said. However, she said a police inspector wrote that he included them in the case file because they were “possibly related to this incident.”

The lawyer also noted that Carmignani had a can of bear spray at the time… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Carmignani’s lawyer said he "vehemently denies that he is the alleged individual who is committing these acts against homeless people." Prosecutors did not immediately respond to questions about whether Carmignani could face charges in connection with the bear-spray attacks.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The attorney for Nima Momeni, the accused killer of Bob Lee, told reporters Tuesday that crucial video evidence that prosecutors say shows her client stabbing Bob Lee is unclear.

"He’s gonna plead not guilty," Paula Canny, the attorney, told reporters outside the courtroom.

"I… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Momeni is accused of fatally stabbing tech executive Lee beneath the Bay Bridge in San Francisco in the early hours of April 4 following a dispute involving the suspect’s sister.

Prosecutors allege that video footage taken under the bridge shows the two move close to each other… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Present at Tuesday’s court hearing were Lee’s family members as well as Momeni’s.

Notably absent, however, was his sister, Khazar Momeni, who prosecutors say was at the center of a conflict between Lee and the suspect.

Khazar was not in court this time "partly because it was so… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Nima Momeni, the suspected killer of Bob Lee, was arraigned at a San Francisco court Friday morning.

In attendance were his sister, Khazar Elyassnia, and her husband, prominent SF plastic surgeon Dr. Dino Elyassnia.

🧵⬇️ (1/16)
In the hours since, new details have emerged that seem to place Khazar at the center of a dispute between her brother and Lee.

Details in the investigation are emerging quickly. Here’s a roundup of everything new we know so far. (2/16) ImageImage
Nima Momeni was arrested at his live/work space in Emeryville (just 10 mins across the Bay Bridge from SF) in a pre-dawn raid Thursday morning.

Momeni’s LinkedIn profile describes him as the owner of Expand IT, an Emeryville-based technology and cyber security firm, since 2010.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage

WATCH: This is the moment SF DA @BrookeJenkinsSF called out @elonmusk for a "reckless and irresponsible" tweet he posted about public safety in the aftermath of Bob Lee's murder.

Jenkins characterized the tweet as misinformation.

More from the press conference below. ⬇️ (1/4)
.@SFPDChief Bill Scott confirmed that Bob Lee and his suspected killer, Nima Momeni, knew each other—and that Momeni was arrested early this AM in Emeryville.

Beyond that, he repeatedly declined to give further details. (2/4)
Mayor @LondonBreed used her time to emphasize that police take every murder seriously—even those that do not make the headlines. This theme was repeated by all three speakers.

"People who commit crimes in our city of any capacity will be brought to justice." (3/4)

Like many transit agencies nationwide, @SFBART is struggling with the homelessness crisis that spills over from city streets.

With trains and stations used as de facto shelters, BART is spending upwards of $30 mil annually on interventions. (1/8)
sfstandard.com/transportation…
It’s not money that BART has to spare. With monthly ridership sitting at just 40% of pre-pandemic levels and federal funding expected to run out in two years, BART is facing a looming fiscal cliff.

And there’s no clear path to safety. (2/8)
sfstandard.com/transportation…
BART needs to win back commuters desperately, now more than ever.

But customer surveys show that BART riders are increasingly frustrated with the agency’s handling of the homelessness crisis as well as worsening on-time performance levels. (3/8)

Watch: The Standard's Editor in Chief Jonathan Weber Interviews DA Chesa Boudin twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
We're starting off with talk of diversion.

DA @chesaboudin mentions new state laws that have made more categories of offenders eligible for diversion.

But is diversion working? We're pushing for data.
@chesaboudin DA @chesaboudin shifts some of the focus to judges:

"The criminal justice system is not a fiefdom. I’m not Batman, we can only prosecute cases that police bring us, and it’s always the judge’s decision what sentence to impose.”

San Francisco’s office occupancy is the lowest of any U.S. metro area.

Buildings are empty. Workers are gone. And hundreds of Financial District merchants are hanging on by a thread.

Here are two of their stories. (1/7)
Will Herrera is the manager of the Old Ship Saloon in Jackson Square. The establishment is operating at 10% of pre-pandemic levels.

Muna Azzghayer co-owns Oasis Grill and Ziggy’s Burgers.

“There’s just nobody here,” she told us. (2/7)
Pre-pandemic, downtown merchants say they were jammed. Lunchtime lines were out the door.

But in interviews with Here/Say, they described a staggering loss of revenue and foot traffic as tourists and office workers largely avoid the area. (3/7)
