Psycho Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 MAYOR ADRIAN FENTY & MAYOR KWAME KILPATRICK Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, a one-time rising star and Detroit’s youngest elected leader, was charged Monday with perjury and other counts after sexually explicit text messages contradicted his sworn denials of an affair with a top aide. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy also charged the popular yet polarizing 37-year-old mayor with obstruction of justice and misconduct in office. Kilpatrick, who was to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon, could face up to 15 years in prison and be expelled from office if convicted. “Some have suggested that the issues in this case are personal or private,” Worthy said. “Our investigation has clearly shown that public dollars were used, people’s lives were ruined, the justice system severely mocked and the public trust trampled on. ... This case is about as far from being a private matter as one can get.” Mayor Adrian Fenty has done more or less the same as Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick but his day to be indicted is just down the road and it may be for a lot more.
