28 years in prison for corrupt ex-Detroit mayor

[Cade Is Here]

In this May 25, 2010 file photo, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick sits at his sentencing in Wayne County Circuit Court on an obstruction-of-justice conviction. Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is returning to court for what could be one of the longest sentences in recent cases of public corruption, the result of two dozen convictions that range from bribery to extortion to tax crimes. Federal prosecutors are recommending at least 28 years in prison Thursday, Oct. 10, 2013, while defense attorneys are hoping the sentence doesn’t exceed 15. - See more at: http://bostonherald.com/news_opinio...corrupt_ex_detroit_mayor#sthash.Y6Mv5MBM.dpuf

Certain liberal politicians are SPECIAL PEOPLE....the rules are for the other folks, not them!

this is THE MAN looking for a scapegoat...because OBVIOUSLY the corporations didn't contribute enough largesse in charitable donation and taxes to fund the city and a 'little' justified, "spreading the wealth around"

I mean public "service" just doesn't pay enough to expect politicians to be completely against a little self interest...

besides self interest is capitalism's fault.

I can't celebrate anyone going to prison unless they've killed or physically harmed someone. Until we can find a way to make prisons safer we should not be so quick to throw people in there for a first offense. After two or three convictions, sure, send em up and throw away the key, but anyone can make a mistake or even be wrongfully convicted once. For a first offense, if the crime didn't involve serious and actual violence there should be some form of house arrest or public service. Just my personal view though.
