DETROIT — A lawyer says a stripper got $1,000 to perform at a dope-fueled party at the Detroit mayor's mansion and saw Kwame Kilpatrick's wife attack a woman who was giving the then-mayor a lap dance.

Tamika Ruffin's statement comes in documents released Sunday by Norman Yatooma, lawyer for another stripper killed months after the long-rumored 2002 party.

Yatooma's filing is a response to efforts by Kilpatrick and the city to dismiss a lawsuit by Tamara Greene's family. The 27-year-old Greene was shot to death in 2003. Her family says city officials suppressed the investigation.

No one has been charged, and city lawyers deny officials squelched a probe.

Ruffin claims Carlita Kilpatrick attacked Greene with a table leg or board.

Everyone in detroit government knew the deal immediately too...his supression game was deadly and vast.

:ufdup: Until he pushed that reporter against the wall...

He will probably get 20. Actually do 5 and be on federal probation for the rest of the time. It still won't change that he is arrogant as fukk. :rudy:

He just really thought he was untouchable. Some next level political arrogance. It seems in retrospect there was a lot of that in the early 2000's within government of all levels.

Appeals promised as Detroit ex-mayor's trial ends

"Kwame Kilpatrick was found guilty of 24 of 30 counts. Ferguson, who also was led away in handcuffs, was convicted on nine of 11 counts. Bernard Kilpatrick was convicted on just one of four counts: filing false taxes. The jury acquitted him on two other counts and deadlocked on the most serious charge: racketeering."

"Kilpatrick and Ferguson each face up to 20 years in prison but could get more, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office."....There you go. I'm expecting an appeal and some deals to be done. He won't do more than 10.

So like I said you got no idea what he was convicted of and you certainly have no idea how the Feds sentencing works.



The conviction of Kilpatrick and Ferguson for violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act is the most serious and carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

Bernard Kilpatrick was acquitted of that charge.


Appeals gonna take years and there is no deals to be cut. You don't go to trial then get to plead guilty once your convicted.
