If you’re speaking of Conyers, her sentencing is in June.

Wow... Fascinating tape of the sentencing/probation violation hearing. Thanks so much for the link. That judge sure smacked him down!

Did you notice the one deputy/baliff that was standing against the wall when Kirkpatrick was giving his testimony? It looked like she kept wiping tears from her eyes! [What’s up with that? Was she REALLY that moved by his pathetic speech? It was like he had NO emotions, but was pretending he did!]

Glad to see the judge give him the full sentence as well. It’s clear that - as the judge stated - he continues to this day trying to play the role of the victim, and there is no way he can play dumb regarding his restitution and the court orders that were issued! I can’t even BELIEVE someone would even TRY to say “I don’t know if my wife works”, “I don’t know what the rent is”, etc... etc... What a pathetic jerk!

I feel for his kids, but this guy definitely deserves to do a little more time away and maybe begin to appreciate a little more what it is he has actually done...

Thanks for the ping; post. The POS King Kwame should be behind bars for life. The damage he has done to individuals, the city, the respect for government (in general) is incalculable.

questioned Kilpatrick about several other transactions he made this summer around the time he unilaterally cut his restitution payments to $3,000, including $158 he spent at a nail salon and $595 at a Gucci store.

In sum, Siringas alleged Kilpatrick spent about a half-million dollars between October 2008 and October 2009.

Kwame Kilpatrick paid for wife’s plastic surgery two weeks after saying he couldn’t make full payments to Detroit

A tearful Kwame Kilpatrick on Tuesday testified he paid more than $15,000 for his wife to receive a plastic surgery procedure on her stomach, explaining how she nearly died during child birth several years ago and developed a severe hernia as a result of a Cesarean section.

The former Mayor of Detroit said his insurance would not cover a procedure to repair the damage.

“I wanted to make her feel beautiful. That’s what that was.

And, in addition to spending 99 days in jail, he agreed to pay the city $1 million in restitution to...

...make up for the fact that he lied in court and obstructed police investigations into his text-messaging antics with Beatty.

Now, the ex-attorney is working as a salesman. His job with Covisint pays him a monthly base pay of $10,000, hardly (he claims) enough to make ends meet. So he wants the court to cut him a break — and let him pay back the community at half the existing rate, or $3,000 a month.

At that rate, it’ll take the 39-year-old Kilpatrick more than 27 years to pay back the Motor City.

The Wayne County prosecutor’s office, though, isn’t buying his woebegone plea. Prosecutors assert that Kilpatrick isn’t reporting all of his income and finances, as has been ordered by the court, and accuse him of secreting money away into accounts under his wife’s name.

Among other things: the $15,770 on something “personal” for Carlita (though Kilpatrick wouldn’t say what was nipped or tucked on his wife); $800 on Omaha Steaks; $600 at a Gucci store; $160 at a nail salon; and hundreds (or possibly thousands) of dollars at golf courses and restaurants.

“That’s what you chose to pay your money on, as opposed to paying the court restitution so you could pay your million dollars to the city of Detroit,” Assistant Prosecutor Athina Siringas reportedly said to Kilpatrick during his testimony.

How serious is Kilpatrick taking this? Well, consider this: When Judge David Groner returned from the lunch break, Team Kilpatrick was nowhere to be found. He and his attorneys kept the court waiting for 17 minutes, according to the Free Press blog.

The problem? They were waiting for their restaurant lunch bill.
