Detroit Mayor Goes To Jail...a pictorial perspective!

[Ab-Titchaz]

Send to jail again? Oh! My god! He was released from jail just few months ago.

Dude was on probation for 5yrs and he was supposed to pay the City some 1 million dollars as restitution. Jamaa kacheza dana dana na mahakama huku akiishi Texas in a million dollar house driving a cadillac. Alipoulizwa na mahakama kwa nini halipa akadai hana hela na kua bugdet yake akiitimiza anabaka na 6 dollars peke yake kulipa koti. Jaji akaona jamaa anauweka usiku.

Damn!!!!...3 meals and cot..thats the language up there at Jackson.

Kwame Kilpatrick's mugshot today from the Wayne County jail. ​

Kilpatrick gets 1.5 to 5 years, loses his job​

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is led away in handcuffs after his sentencing on Tuesday, May 25, 2010.

​

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was fired from his job today after being sentenced to prison for probation violation.

"Kwame Kilpatrick will be off the Compuware Corporation payroll at the end of the month," said a company statement. "We don't have any choices. It's an unfortunate situation, and we feel bad for his family, but our hands are tied."


Earlier today, a frustrated Detroit judge ordered Kilpatrick to serve 18 months to five years in prison, declaring that Kilpatrick had lied while on probation and maliciously hid money that was supposed to go toward repaying the City of Detroit $1 million in restitution.

"Your testimony in this court amounted to perjury," Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner said, alluding to the ex-mayor's explanations for how hundreds of thousands of dollars passed through his family's bank accounts without being accounted for, or applied to, Kilpatrick's restitution obligations.

The judge appeared to give no weight to Kilpatrick's lengthy and emotional court oration, in which he apologized for his lies in the text-message scandal, but said he is a different and better person today.

As Kilpatrick spoke, the judge mostly looked at papers on his desk.

"Probation is no longer an option," Groner said when Kilpatrick had finished. "That ship has sailed."

Kilpatrick, the judge said, had shown a lack of candor, remorse, humility and forthrightness, during the course of the on-again, off-again restitution hearing, which plodded on for roughly a year.

In one particularly biting passage in his remarks, the judge noted that Kilpatrick and his family had settled into a $1 million home outside Dallas, continued to drive expensive vehicles, and had spent thousands so that Carlita Kilpatrick, the mayor's wife, could have elective surgery.

It was money that Kilpatrick should have applied to paying back his restitution sooner, Groner said. Kilpatrick had made clear that it was more important "to pacify your wife" than follow court orders, Groner said.

Ex-mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's next 60 days

BY KOFI MYLER AND MARTHA THIERRY


Kwame Kilpatrick is to spend the next two months being evaluated for risks and needs as an inmate with the Michigan Department of Corrections. Here are some details about his introduction to Michigan's prison system.


1. PRISONER IDENTIFICATION #702408

He is required to be photographed and fingerprinted and has been issued a six-digit prisoner identification number that will stay with him throughout his incarceration. This number also will be on the prisoner ID card he will carry along with his full name and photo. It has a magnetic strip, like a credit card, and is used in the prison store.

2. WHERE HE STARTED HIS SENTENCE

Kilpatrick spent a few hours at Wayne County's Dickerson Detention Facility in Detroit.

3. WHERE HE WILL BE EVALUATED

After his two-month stay at the Charles Egeler Reception & Guidance Center in Jackson, he is to be placed in one of 34 Michigan prisons. He could qualify for a minimum- security facility because he is a first-time offender and has a short-term sentence.

PERSONAL PROPERTY ALLOWED

• State-issued clothing with the prisoner number stenciled on the back of the shirt.
• Photographs
• Religious items, other than reading material (not exceeding $50 in value)
• Medically necessary items
• One plain ring or wedding band set without stones or insignia (not exceeding $50 in value)
• Personal ID: birth certificate, Social Security card, GED certificate or other official documents that a prisoner may need upon release. These items may be retained in a record office file.
• Funds accompanying a prisoner are credited to a trust account

IN HIS ROOM

The cell he will occupy will contain a sink and toilet. He will have a shower facility available. The room will have a bed, desk or writing surface and a chair and a wall or foot locker.

HE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO

• Visits from legal and religious representatives
• Law library
• Mail, limited e-mail (printed, prisoner can't send)
• Prisoner store for envelopes, stationery and health care products
• Telephone privileges, credits
• Group religious services
• Prisoner grievance system

ASSESSMENTS HE WILL BE GIVEN

Suicide risk, health, dental and optical exams, tests for HIV and Hepatitis C and a mental evaluation

POSSIBLE GROUNDS FOR APPEAL

Defense attorney Michael Alan Schwartz said Kwame Kilpatrick will appeal the conviction and the sentence. Possible grounds include:
• That Judge David Groner heard the case while his brother-in-law Richard Hathaway is Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy's chief assistant.
• That there was insufficient evidence to convict Kilpatrick of probation violation.
• That Groner's sentence of 18 months-5 years exceeded guidelines calling for the minimum sentence to be 17 months or less.
• That Groner commented to Kilpatrick that "you are different. You were a public servant and because of your status as former high-ranking official, we expected you to set an example."

A TROUBLED FUTURE

• Kilpatrick still owes the City of Detroit $860,000.
• He was fired from his position at Compuware.
• There is a continuing FBI investigation of wide-ranging public corruption. Agents are focusing on Kilpatrick, members of his former administration and his father, Bernard, though no charges have been filed.
• It is unclear what will happen to his family and their assets. Carlita Kilpatrick declined to comment on Tuesday.

[Ruge Opinion]

What did this guy do in the first place that he had to pay restitution? Did he steal public money? And why do successful black people in the US end up in jail more than white people? Are they irresponsible or is racism a factor (at least in part)? But the guy looks more like an old Al Capone gangster than a political dignitary. How did he become Mayor of a major city like Detroit? But then, that is America!!

Im not sure if you are asking rhetorical questions or what. All answers to your questions are
contained in the second post.Please go and read.

This case has nothing to do with racism or being black as you put it. The man committed
perjury and he has to pay for it.

Both Of Kilpatrick's Attorneys Quit​

Attorney Daniel Hajji said Thursday he will not representing Kilpatrick any longer. His announcement comes just a day after attorney Michael Alan Schwartz announced he was no longer is representing Kilpatrick.

Hajji did not release any more inforamation about his deparature.

Kilpatrick spokesman, Mike Paul, said a new attorney would be named soon.

Schwartz said he is taking a new job as general counsel to "The Word Network," a religious broadcast network.

He said the decision has nothing to do with Kilpatrick.

"I am, at least in spirit, still with Mr. Kilpatrick," Schwartz said during a news conference.

He said he does not plan to charge Kilpatrick with any more than what he has already received from him.

Schwartz said he believes Kilpatrick has grounds for an appeal and said he is confident he will find another attorney to file that appeal.

"I wish him well," Schwartz said.

Wayne County Judge David Groner said Tuesday that Kilpatrick must serve minimum of a year and half to a maximum of five years, minus 120 days for time already served.

Kilpatrick, 39, was escorted out of the courtroom in handcuffs and was transported to the old Jackson prison, which is now called the Charles Egeler Reception and Guidance Center, located at 3855 Cooper St. He will remain in the prison, as inmate No. 702408, for two weeks to a month until he is transferred to another state prison.

He spent the night at the Dwayne Waters Health Center, which is part of the prison and houses 122 inmates.

Local 4 has also learned details into Kilpatrick's first night in prison.

Kilpatrick has his own cell, which includes his own sink, shower and toilet inside the cell -- but no television.

Prison officials said Kilpatrick is away from general population for his own safety, which is common with prisoners who are well-known like him and Jack Kevorkian.

Local 4 has learned Kilpatrick did go to the day room for a time Tuesday night, which is a common area that includes a television.

His cell does not have bars, but a steel door.

Sources said Kilpatrick was served his choice of breaded fish or a northern bean burger for dinner Tuesday night, with potatoes and bread and butter. Dessert was his choice of Jell-O or an orange.

Sources said breakfast items are standard, cereal, oatmeal or grits. However, on Sundays, inmates can choose a waffle.

On Wednesday, sources said Kilpatrick had the choice of a hot dog or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. For dinner, a choice of poultry stew or black bean stew over egg noodles -- all served with veggies and fruit.

Kilpatrick will not be eligible for parole for at least 14 months.

Kilpatrick took several deep breaths before he addressed Groner at his sentencing Tuesday and asked him to show compassion.

On the Michigan Department of Corrections website, details of Kilpatrick's appearance are laid out.

He is 6 foot 4 inches tall, weighs 310 pounds and has two tattoos. One on his left arm that has "Alpha Phi Alpha" and one on his right arm that has his initials "KMK".

"The Michigan prison system is over crowded. I am thinking he will serve between one year and one year and a half," said legal expert David Griem.

Kilpatrick already signed paperwork to launch an appeal. He has 42 days in which to file an appeal. Kilpatrick's attorneys will most likely appeal Groner's decision to exceed the sentencing guidelines and appeal Groner as the judge.

"It's my personal belief that this was what was going to happen. Over the course of time, I sought to have the judge removed several times and now he has essentially given the harshest sentence available," said Schwartz after the sentencing.
