LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN THE KILPATRICK CORRUPTION TRIAL
(WJBK) -The former mayor of the city of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick has been found guilty of Racketeering.Kwame Kilpatrick, Bernard Kilpatrick and Bobby Ferguson are accused of taking bribes and kickbacks during Kwame Kilpatrick’s time as mayor of the city of Detroit.A total of 38 charges range from mail fraud and tax evasion to racketeering and extortion.
Here’s a breakdown from court:
Count 1: Racketeering Conspiracy — KWAME KILPATRICK — GUILTY
Count 1: Racketeering Conspiracy — BOBBY FERGUSON — GUILTY
Count 1: Racketeering Conspiracy — BERNARD KILPATRICK–NO DECISION REACHED
A conviction on racketeering charges could carry up to 20-years in prison.
The government said Kilpatrick abused the Civic Fund, a nonprofit fund he created to help distressed Detroit residents. There was evidence that it was used for yoga lessons, camps for his kids, golf clubs and travel.
Kilpatrick, 42, was elected in 2001 at age 31. He resigned in 2008 and pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in a different scandal involving sexually explicit text messages and an extramarital affair with his chief of staff.
The Democrat spent 14 months in prison for violating probation in that case after a judge said he failed to report assets that could be put toward his $1 million restitution to Detroit.
Voters booted his mother, Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, from Congress in 2010, partly because of a negative perception of her due to her son’s troubles.
