    And there is the Manoogian Mansion incident where he most likely ordered Detroit police to assasinate a hooker ... but he did a better job with the evidence on that one. This guy makes Ray Lewis look like a saint ... he has a murdurers row of wiki controversies ...

    Manoogian Mansion party

    The murder of Tamara Greene

    Whistleblower trial

    Text-messaging scandal

    Criminal charges

    Slander suit

    Synagro sludge contract

    Recall campaign

    Funneling of state grant money to wife

    Denial of courtesy protection

    Preferential hiring of friends and family

    Abuse of power allegations

    Assaulting a police officer

    2010 Indictment for tax evasion and mail fraud

    FBI corruption investigation of Kilpatrick family and friends

    Resignation and incarceration

    He is a criminal who still owes the city of Detroit $800,000 in restitution. What a joke.

    Man all those charges? How long did it take to take him down? Now I hope someone can catch the rest of our corrupt leaders. I guess it would be about 95% of them.......

    28 years seems a little light for running a city into bankruptcy

    since it was federal charges he has to serve 85% of sentence.
