San Francisco Assault Case: Charges Upheld Against Suspect in Attack on Ex-Fire Commissioner.

San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins confirmed that charges against Garrett Allen Doty, accused of beating former San Francisco Fire Commissioner Don Carmignani with a metal bar, have not been dropped. Doty has been released from custody, but is still facing charges including assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery with serious bodily injury. Video evidence has surfaced suggesting Carmignani was the aggressor in the incident, but his testimony is necessary for the prosecution to prove the charges. A criminal protective order requires Doty to stay away from Carmignani and the block where the attack took place.
