Kwame Kilpatrick, Bobby Ferguson found guilty of racketeering

DETROIT - After 14 full days of deliberation in the Kwame Kilpatrick federal corruption trial, the jury announced verdicts Monday morning. Kilpatrick has been found guilty of racketeering.

Kwame Kilpatrick and Ferguson also were found guilty of extortion. The jury reached a unanimous decision on 40 of 45 counts.

Breaking with typical protocol, the verdict was not read by the jury foreperson. Instead, Judge Nancy Edmunds read the verdicts herself.

The panel of eight women and four men deliberated for close to 100 hours before finally reaching their decisions. The verdict was reached on Friday. The jury decided to go home and sleep on it over the weekend to see if anyone would change his or her mind by Monday morning.
