Your Detroit mayor is guilty of one major infraction -- alienating himself enough from the powers that be that such a charge would actually stick.

I think you need to read and learn a little more about the situation. Detroit has tried to get a better reputation and as far as most Southeastern Michiganders say, it IS a lot better (Downtown area). All Kwame has done is made the city look even worse than it was.

He physically assaulted someone.... a LEGAL OFFICIAL. He committed perjury. And everyone is pretty sure he is hiding information about the murder of a stripper after a party at HIS mansion, which adds on to I don't know how many other stories about Kwame's connection to it.

He was asked to resign by multiple people, including the pastor from HIS OWN CHURCH. He never wanted to stand down, even when everyone knew he was lying. He continued to prance around town like a pimp and today, while our Governor was in court to get his ass out of office, he was shown driving with his little punkass son who was laughing and pretending to shoot hoops out of the passenger side window. And can I add that during his State of the City speach, his kids were laughing, looking like little mini Pimp Kwame's, and it looked like they didn't care, just like they're father.

Detroit and our court systems didn't put him through the ringer. He put himself through the ringer, embarrassed his family, embarrassed our city, and has put numerous city employees (police officers and others) through hell. So really, he's guilty of NUMEROUS infractions.

Please. Learn about a topic before you go spouting off.

It's official. He accepted a plea bargain including the following: guilty of two counts of obstruction of justice and no contest to one count of felonious assault .

120 days jailtime
5 years probation (during which he cannot run for office)
Immediate letter of resignation with effective date no later than 9/18/08 (which sounds nuts to me, you let him keep running things for two more weeks?? How much damage can be done during those two weeks?)
1 million dollars restitution to the City of Detroit over the next 5 years including the surrender of his state pension

He made the WSJ, btw.

I read an article that said he was going to lose his license to practice law, too. Is that still part of the deal?

Yes, he's officially convicted of a felony which automatically disbars him in Michigan (assuming that's true everywhere? I'm sure our law student GCers will chime in).

The police chief has retired effective immediately.

Christine Beatty has not accepted a plea deal.

That's what I said during his resignation speach.

She will then write a book which will turn into a Lifetime Original movie, named Carlita's Way, ala "Carlito's Way". Lol seriously wouldn't you laugh?

I'm sure Christine Beatty will let EVERYTHING out now.

It's got to be a brighter day for you, AGDee. I got the impression that this scandal was bothering you a lot. (It would bother me too.)

The City Attorney, Sharon McPhail resigned as well. I understand the City President, Ken Cockrel, Jr. will be sworn as the next mayor....a HOT MESS, but I really feel sorry for the citizens of Detroit....everything is up in the air, and the entire sorted mess is not over. The Feds are probably still going to investigate what happened with the death of the dancer, and the sludge contract with "Synergy" including allegations of kickbacks to some City Council members. It will be "on and poppin" for many months to come in the "Big D". Plus, Christine Beatty has lost her "bargaining chip" to work out her own "deal" since the "big fish" has pled out. Her case was continued to 9/11/08.

I think that's the way it is in most states; bar organizations won't hesitate to disbar you after a conviction, and some will disbar you even if you aren't convicted.

He's pleading right now. I duno if he's trying to hold back tears or trying not to laugh. Christine Beatty looks HIT UP. Carlita Kilpatrick looks like she wants to kill Kwame. She's probably thinking "Well there goes my Navigator, my mansion, my Escalade, my fur coats, my diamonds, etc..." I wish I could say I feel sorry for her, but after hearing about the stuff that she was involved in with the infamous Manoogian Mansion party, I don't.
