Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Ordered to Jail for Violating Terms of Bond

Kwame Kilpatrick, the embattled Detroit mayor, has been ordered by a judge to spend a day in jail after he violated the terms of his bond set down after his perjury case.

Kilpatrick made an unauthorized trip to Canada last month, a direct violation of his bond. While he apologized to the judge for the trip it didn’t keep him from facing the penalty of jail time.

District Court Judge Ronald Giles told Kilpatrick, “What matters to me though is how the court overall is perceived and how if it was not Kwame Kilpatrick sitting in that seat, if it was John Six-Pack sitting in that seat, what would I do? And that answer is simple.”

Kilpatrick was then handed the one-day sentence.

Kilpatrick, along with former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty had been charged with conspiracy, perjury, obstruction of justice and misconduct related to a whistle-blowing case that was to reveal their text-messaging relationship had evolved into a romantic relationship.
