Woman’s false abuse allegations exposed in San Francisco court

'It is not often charges will be dropped midtrial — and even less often that a jury will applaud and offer to write letters to try to help the accused retrieve their job.

But that is what happened in a felony domestic violence case in San Francisco Superior Court this week when prosecutors gave up on the case after the alleged victim kept switching her story on the stand, the Public Defender’s Office announced Thursday.

The San Francisco man, 24-year-old kitchen manager Francisco Garcia, was accused by his former girlfriend of smashing her head into a wall multiple times and threatening to kill her and their toddler.

But Garcia said the woman only made the allegations after he told her he would go to court for a custody arrangement for their child. She took the news poorly and told him things were going to “get really bad for him,” Deputy Public Defender Eric Quandt said in a news release.'
