Possible jail For Ex-Detroit Mayor
DETROIT – Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, sent to jail and forced to resign over racy text messages that showed he had lied under oath, has presented himself as a changed man since his release last year — someone working to repair his damaged relationship with his family and pay the $1 million in restitution he owes the city.
FILE – In this Jan. 20, 2010 file photo, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick appears during his restitution hearing in Detroit. Circuit Judge David Groner must decide Tuesday, May 25, 2010 what’s next after ruling in April that Kilpatrick violated probation from a 2008 criminal case by failing to report all assets and failing to meet other conditions. Kilpatrick has been on probation since his release from jail in 2009 for obstruction of justice and assault, all related to a text-message scandal that revealed an affair with his chief of staff and destroyed his political career.

Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner will determine Kilpatrick’s punishment after ruling last month that the former mayor violated his probation by failing to report all assets and failing to meet other conditions.
State Corrections officials have suggested less than a year in county jail. Defense attorneys want no jail time, saying it will hamper Kilpatrick’s ability to pay the money he still owes. But prosecutors say two to five years in state prison would be appropriate.
“The defendant has continued to lie to this court about his ability to pay restitution,” Prosecutor Kym Worthy wrote in a 10-page sentencing memorandum submitted to Groner on Monday. “This court cannot reward lies, deceit and fraud with more probation.”
