Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to be prosecuted for perjury
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty, were hit this morning with a 12-count indictment by Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy for their involvement in a text message scandal.
The city of Detroit has been turned upside down over this whole issue, which started with the firing of Gary Brown, former deputy chief of the police department, who was investigating claims made by one of his officers.
Kilpatrick and Beatty denied, under oath, that they had ever discussed firing Brown, but text messages uncovered between the two told a different story.
The two also lied that they were involved in a sexual affair, but the same text messages pointed to a torrid affair between the two of them.
Kilpatrick is expected to hold his own news conference in the next 30 minutes.
Damn Frat, hate to see the brother go down like this. Between him and the new Governor of NYC Patterson. I don't know what to say. Brothers have to keep it in their pants. Or at least don't leave a trail. Damn Damn Damn....

Yes I think he is guilty of something. Maybe it is not having an affair with that lady, but I guess was is guilty of something. But it all will come out soon.
