Or better yet, how about this: "why all that stuff isn't sex, only the missionary position leading to a live birth is sex. And she ahs never given birth to one of my kids, so we never had sex. And if you don't believe me, why just ask my buddy and mentor Billie Boy AKA Bubba Ckinton.
I text this kind of stuff all the time to my fellow workers. Strictly business.
LOL!!!
I would be sent to MEO before I hit SEND with that message.

Sounds like a line he picked up off a Barry White album.
FRee Advice to his defense attorney:
1. Plead he is a Mormon
2. He hit meant to send the text to THE WIFE
3. Somebody borrowed his cell phone.
I saw Kilpartrick and attorney on TV last night and I thought I was looking at Dennis Kucinich with a DNC Club Bouncer.
The Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 121, referred to by Kirkpatrick’s lawyer, Dan Webb, prohibits disclosure of stored electronic communications, subject to a number of exceptions, including appropriate subpoenas by law enforcement agencies. From the little this article says, it appears that the communications were initially disclosed in a manner not allowed by that act. From there the argument runs that, since the Federal Government discovered them from an illicit source, it couldn’t repair its case by using legally appropriate procedures to obtain them. It will be interesting to see how the issue comes out.
He will cry racism and then move up within the democrat party.
Even the local black media said that he’s burnt toast.
“The world is full of people who are in the habit of exchanging salacious phone calls, e-mails and text messages,” he said. “It doesn’t mean they are having an actual relationship. Did they say (under oath) they didn’t have physical sex, or have no personal relationship or interaction, at all?
I guess it’s going to be more “...It depends on what the word “is” is...”
Was this phone issued by the state, or a personal one that he paid for? I would think the messages would be state property if they are paying for the bill. Wouldn’t they technically “own” them? I would think it would be something like emails on a state computer. They just take it back, and anything on it is theirs.
If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.
"I've been dreaming all day about having you all to myself for 3 days. Relaxing, laughing, talking, sleeping and making love."
Yeah, that sure is ambiguous.
Ambiguity means "straightforward, easy to understand," right?
During the whistle-blower suit, Kilpatrick said Brown was "un- appointed."
Attorneys Criminals are so clever. A glimpse... "Inside the Criminal Mind" - Samenow.
I really can’t get too excited about him being gone because anyone they replace him with will probably be worse. Just the nature of Detroit politics.
Thanks grellis. I guess it depends on who appointed the judge and/or whether he accepts large bribes.
"He was not fired," he testified.
Why do we even need to waste taxpayer money on a trial? Based on the above alone, he is guilty.
I agree that that whether these text messages are admitted isn’t open and shut. I haven’t researched the Stored Communications Act, and because it’s relatively new, I doubt that there is much case law on it.
But it seems that applying the exclusionary rule and the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine to a violation of the act would be quite a leap. Does the act provide a remedy for a violation? If so, then Congress never intended the exclusionary rule to apply in the event of a violation. The act clearly states that stored electronic communications are not discoverable in a civil suit. Skytel didn’t release the emails to Stephani until after the verdict was rendered against Kwame. It seems that Skytel may have violated the act, even though it released the messages under subpoena. But the exclusionary rule applies to state actors. Can the civil court be deemed a state actor? Did defendant Kwame raise the act in the civil suit as an objection to releasing the messages? If not, then the issue may have been waived. Also, when Kwame was first elected, he stated that all city communications were public. Could a waiver of the act be inferred from that statement?
Dan Webb has raised a very interesting argument for suppression of the messages. This would make a very good law review article.
Interesting analysis. Thanks.
