Ex-Detroit mayor sentenced to 28 years in prison for corruption

Kwame Kilpatrick, the disgraced former mayor of Detroit, was sentenced Thursday to 28 years in prison for corruption following a series of scandals that showed he had unchecked power while in office.

Kilpatrick’s defense attorneys originally had argued that federal prosecutors were overreaching when they recommended he get 28 years – but Judge Nancy Edmunds handed down every minute of it.

"It was a tough sentence but it was a very large crime (and) the punishment met the crime," said U.S. Attorney Mark Chutkow.

Kilpatrick addressed the court before his sentencing, saying, "I'm incredibly remorseful." But he stopped short of admitting guilt.

"I respect the jury's verdict,” he said. “I think your honor knows I disagree with it."

This was a different Kilpatrick. Gone were the flamboyant suits, the earring and the demeanor of the politician once described as the “hip hop mayor.”

He wore prison clothes and spent a great deal of time with his eyes trained at the floor.

"I believe he was broken. I believe he is very sorry," said Norman Yatooma, an attorney who investigated the suspicious death of Tamara Green, a woman tangled in the wild stories around Kilpatrick. "Sorry because he got caught."

As for the former mayor’s purported contrition, Shawn McKinney, an alternate juror at the trial, said simply, "I don't believe it."

His pre-sentence statement stood in contrast to his lifestyle in office.

Kilpatrick spent $800,000 more than he earned. He billed his city credit card for trips to Las Vegas, and bought concert tickets and football tickets along with an $850.00 steak dinner. He leased two Lincoln Navigators for his wife with public money.

"Managing a city with no money is hard every single day," Kilpatrick told the court. "I can't stand here and say I didn't work my butt off. I did every single day."

Kilpatrick did not help the impending financial crush of Detroit. Federal prosecutors wrote in a 51-page, pre-sentence filing that the city "desperately needed resolute leadership. Instead it got a mayor looking to cash in his office through graft, extortion and self dealing."

Replies sorted oldest to newest

In March, Kilpatrick, 43, was convicted of racketeering conspiracy, fraud, extortion and tax crimes. The government called it the "Kilpatrick enterprise," a yearslong scheme to shake down contractors and reward allies. He was doomed by his own text messages, which revealed efforts to fix deals for a pal, Bobby Ferguson, an excavator who got millions of dollars in city work through the water department.

 

Contractors said they were forced to take on Ferguson as a partner or risk losing lucrative deals. The government alleged that he in turn shared cash with Kilpatrick.

 

Agents who pored over bank accounts and credit cards said Kilpatrick spent $840,000 beyond his salary during his time as mayor. Defense attorneys tried to portray the money as generous gifts from political supporters who opened their wallets for birthdays or holidays.

 

The government said Kilpatrick also tapped a nonprofit fund, which was created to help distressed Detroit residents, to pay for yoga, camps for his kids, golf clubs and travel.

 

"A man with the charisma and ability of Mr. Kilpatrick chose to use his talents on personal aggrandizement and enrichment when he had the potential to do so much for the city," Judge Nancy Edmunds said before imposing the sentence.

 

This is straight out of Jagdeo playbook giving away GPC  to his friend Dr Ramroop

That's only in Guyana. He is a friend of  Baldeo, Roger and ED. You know the saying about birds of a feather.... The FEDS probably have him on their radar; it's only a matter of time.

Kwame is accused of misappropriating 800k. Jagdeo has outdone him in increments of 100's. Kwame took care of his wife with his loot. That fraud lied to the nation that  he had a wife, deceived the women that  and abused her. That is a  that worse of bottom feeders that one day I hope we will ask to answer.

Pavi Bhai, all Chief is stating is that State assets like the Leonora Estate, the New GPC and the Mirror Group of Companies were under-invoiced tremendously to buyers in transactions that lacked transparency. It's as simple as that; and these assertions by Chief are in the realm of prove-ability. He just has to show the evidence.

 

It happened in Russia when Socialism gave way to capitalism and you got overnight billionaires.

 

 

BaseBoard, this is above your comprehension and your fierce loyalty to the PPP betrays uneducated responses.

 

Cobra, references to Al Qaeda, while wild, bereft of relevance to the topic at hand, and just plain stupid, is a dangerous attempt to link Chief with that organization that Chief has clearly and unequivocally condemned for being sacrilegious to Islam.

 

In fact Cobra and BaseBoard could do the human race a favor and just read instead of attempting to use their keyboards.

Pavi, settle down for a moment, and do not let your love for the PPP take you down the path of blindly leading them over the cliff - you know like the TEA Party leading the Republicans over that cliff.

 

Chief employed a journalistic inference to insinuate something he could have put factually, but merely seek to jog your respective intellects - shallow as they may be.

Your prejudice knows no bounds. A fleabag Indian is now one of the richest man in our society on account of his a decade in office. What he accrued and what he give away to his friends is obscenely over the amount what kwame did.

 

if one measures the amount looted to calibrate our level of contempt one sees the disparity between Kwame and Jagdeo as teapot compared to a lake. The man pillaged our nation's coffers, enriched his coterie of friends with the Berbice river deal, the pharmaceutical deals and the building industry into hundreds of millions of dollars. Now reset your prejudice, reassess the land scape and examine who is the most odious of the two.

 

That does not include the gross lie he told to the nation that he was straight inclusive in the lie that he had a wife and  his misuse and abuse of a woman to pull that off. The man is skunk. He stinks to high hell.

Good morning Buddy Nehru.

 

Your admission that you have questions about how state assets were disposed of is a good start.

 

Now on this Sunday morning, last day of Nau Raatri, just close your eyes and be honest with yourself. Take race out of the picture, remain with your eyes closed now stop seeing the Mayor of Detriot as black and stop seeing Jagdeo as Indian and as your friend. Now use your honest mind and heart, still with your eyes closed, be conscious that Lord Rama and Krishna, both are watching you.

 

Now tell me if it's not the same corruption, handing out city contracts to friends for a kickback and handing out Government properties to friends for a kickback. It is documented in AMERICAN AND LOCAL GUYANA NEWSPAPERS THAT ED AHMAD SHIPPED CONTAINERS OF BUILDING MATERIALS TO PRESIDENT JAGDEO AT HIS OFFICIAL RESIDENCE.  BY JAGDEO OWN ADMISSION, HE SAID THESE CONTAINERS WERE FOR HIS PRIVATE USE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE Government of Guyana.

 

You can now open your eyes.

D2,

Sometimes it is not easy for some folks to admit wrong doing especially when they benefited from such illegal activities.

 

Nehru always boasted about how much free alcohol and food he consumed whenever President Jagdeo was in Town. He always tell us about how President Jagdeo had no scruples about using his Government issued credit card to splurge on his friends here in NY. Now thinking about it even that was  wrong, so technically Nehru is part and parcel of the corruption.

It is documented in AMERICAN AND LOCAL GUYANA NEWSPAPERS THAT ED AHMAD SHIPPED CONTAINERS OF BUILDING MATERIALS TO PRESIDENT JAGDEO AT HIS OFFICIAL RESIDENCE.  BY JAGDEO OWN ADMISSION, HE SAID THESE CONTAINERS WERE FOR HIS PRIVATE USE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE Government of Guyana.

 

You can now open your eyes.

 

 

Chief, You are a Master at looking at individuals as black, White, yellow, Haram, Infedel and so on. Not my cup of Tea.

 

The issue here is not me.

It is you who are denying that Jagdeo is not a dirt bag like the ex Mayor of Detroit . D2 nicely put it over to you when he used the anolgy of a cup of tea compare to a Lake.

D2 don't know if he stands on his feet or head and you are no different.

Now on this Sunday morning, last day of Nau Raatri, just close your eyes and be honest with yourself. Take race out of the picture, remain with your eyes closed now stop seeing the Mayor of Detriot as black and stop seeing Jagdeo as Indian and as your friend. Now use your honest mind and heart, still with your eyes closed, be conscious that Lord Rama and Krishna, both are watching you.

This is all your fault Chief. You asked the man to close his eyes and then went on to write all this stuff. Then when you were done you tell him to open back his eyes. He didn't see anything that you wrote.
