Posted by denised in Remember infamous sex-ter and former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick? Kilpatrick is a favorite here at RBB because he makes it so easy. Here’s a little rundown of the reason Kilpatrick is in the RBB Hall of Fame:
Embarrassing text messages between Kwame Kilpatric and former mayoral chief of staff Christine Beatty (not his wife) were made public yesterday. First he cheated, then he lied about cheating, then he lied about lying. Then he got busted through the release of a series of explicit text messages sent to the very chief of staff he’d sworn he wasn’t having an affair with. After weeks of vehemently denying the affair, perjuring himself in court and refusing to resign even though EVERYONE KNEW HE WAS LYING, prosecutors revealed the existence of the text messages that would ultimately seal his fate.
But about a year after receiving a sentence of up to five years, Kilpatrick was released from prison on parole last Friday.
