The former San Francisco fire commissioner was viciously attacked by a homeless man, who was found not guilty of all charges on Friday.

Doty “fought back to protect himself out of fear for his life,” according to Deputy Public Defender Kleigh Hathaway.
The San Francisco Public Defender’s Office stated in a press release
that prior to this, Carmignani’s lawyers had only released “selected video footage” of the incident, omitting the beginning of the altercation.
Carmignani started the fight, doused the homeless man with bear spray, and threatened to stab and kill him if he did not move his belongings, according to Doty’s defense lawyers.

Prior to this, Carmignani claimed that his mother was terrified to leave her Marina District home because three homeless people had established an encampment close to her front door.
Carmignani allegedly threatened Doty, according to the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office, so he opted to arm himself with a metal rod he discovered in a trash can.
Days after Bob Lee’s stabbing, a former San Francisco fire commissioner was beaten and slashed with pipe.
According to the public defenders, 15 after luring Doty closer with bear spray a few minutes later, Carmignai “stood against a building and ensured the violent altercation.”

“It was immediately evident to me that Mr. Doty was defending himself against Mr. Carmignani, who not only had the gall to assault Mr. Doty with bear spray and then made threats to stab and murder Mr. Doty, demonstrating his unwillingness to give up a fight he had initiated,” Hathaway said.
“Self-defense can be fierce because the brain goes into survival mode, and that fear response is sadly heightened for unhoused people, like Mr. Doty, who live in constant exposure.”
