Kwame Kilpatrick to Resign as Part of Plea Deal
The Wall Street Journal reports Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will resign, plead guilty to two felonies, spend four months in jail and pay the city of Detroit $1 million as part of the sex and misconduct scandal Kilpatrick has been involved in.
The Wayne County prosecutor’s office, which has charged Kilpatrick with eight felonies in the perjury case, said the plea would take place during a scheduled docket conference before Groner Thursday morning. A hearing late Wednesday afternoon was abruptly canceled.
The married mayor and former top aide Christine Beatty were charged in March with perjury, misconduct and obstruction of justice. They’re accused of lying under oath about an affair and their roles in the firing of a deputy police chief.
Beatty did not plead guilty and next will appear in court on Sept. 11. She was in court Thursday as was Kilpatrick’s wife, Carlita.
City Council President Ken Cockrel Jr. will succeed Kilpatrick until a special election is held.
With that being said, here is a recent video of Barack Obama endorsing “former” Maybe Kwame Kilpartrick.
