Detroit's Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick is headed to prison

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and an ex-aide have been charged with perjury and obstruction of justice after prosecutors said sexually explicit text messages between the two contradicted their sworn court testimony.

Kilpatrick reportedly sent romantic texts to his chief of staff, contradicting earlier testimony. This wouldn’t have been as bad if he didn’t publicly deny the relationship. See what happens when you lie little boys and girls. Lying carries more weight than what you lied about.

Anyway the close to 14,000 text messages were leaked to the public and proved that there was an undercover romance. This breached caused for an overwhelming urge for his resignation.

The prosecutor has charged Kilpatrick and the “other” woman with multiple counts of perjury, obstruction of justice and misconduct. The two could face up to 15 years in prison. The prosecutor is asking that the two turned themselves in by tomorrow morning.

I guess if he goes to prison a formal resignation won’t be necessary, right?

Let’s have a moment of silence for his wife and 3 kids.

Atleast NY’s new governor cut his haters off at the pass by coming out publicly before the dirt could rise.
