In a bombshell development, Don Carmignani, purportedly beaten by a homeless man, is now accused of prior attacks on homeless people.
In a courtroom bombshell, the defense attorney for the homeless man accused of beating former fire commissioner Don Carmignani today accused Carmignani of perpetrating earlier attacks against homeless people. This attack occurred on Carmignani's block on Nov. 6, 2021.
Police sources in mid-April told Mission Local about the series of prior attacks on homeless people in the neighborhood,Carmignani’s attorney denied that the vigilante behind the spate of anti-homeless attacks was his client. Deputy public defender Kleigh Hathaway is representing Garrett Doty, the man accused of severely beating Don Carmignani with a crowbar. She says a witness to the altercation between Doty and Carmignani attests that Carmignani told Doty “I’m going to stab you,” “I’m going to kill you,” and “Get out of here.”
The beating of Carmignani, which came just one day after Lee’s killing, was immediately seized upon as yet another sign of San Francisco’s increasing violence and lawlessness. Then came accusations that Carmignani maced Doty prior to the beating — andcame today’s courtroom allegations that he may have been behind earlier attacks on homeless people in the Marina.
