To explain that further, Beatty was not only Kilpatrick’s Chief-of-Staff, but was involved with him in an illicit love affair which spawned thousands of text messages between them.
Among the text messages, that were compelled by a judge to be released, were messages that proved the firings of Detroit Police Deputy Chief Gary Brown and Officer Harold Nelthorpe were not motivated by performance - as they had claimed under oath in a “whistleblower lawsuit” trial for the fired officers - but were fired for purely political reasons, not the least of which was that the officers were investigating allegations of a party at the Mayor’s home that involved female strippers, one of which was found shot to death in a car a short time after the party, when it was alleged she had been confronted and beaten by the Mayor’s wife. (That is being persued under a wrongful death lawsuit filed by a local attorney).
The cops were originally asking for a $200,000 settlement, to which Kilpatrick said no way. The suit was brought to trial and Kilpatrick lost to the tune of $8.4 million.
After the trial, Kilpatrick and Beatty were charged with 21 counts of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury between them. Both got a plea deal and pled guilty to perjury. Kilpatrick lost his law license and owes the city of Detroit $1 million in restitution.
These two are scum, and should have gotten a great deal more time than they did. That may happen if local attorney Norman Yatooma can find any link between these two and the shooting death of that stripper.
