Kwame Kilpatrick Sentenced To Serve 28 years In Prison
Seven months after his historic conviction for public corruption, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds to serve 28 years in prison.
“The government has asked for a sentence of 28 years — I believe that is in fact what his sentence should be,” Edmunds said.
Kilpatrick ran what the government called a money-making racket out of City Hall that steered millions to himself, his family and his friends while the impoverished city hobbled along. The government has asked for a minimum 28-year prison sentence, while the defense says Kilpatrick should be sentenced to no more than 15 years.
