Kilpatrick hearing resumes today

“Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is set to return today to testify in the long-running, contentious and much-interrupted hearing over claims he violated probation,” reports The Detroit News.

“The hearing, which began Oct. 29 and continued two more days in November, should wrap up today or Tuesday. So far, the hearings have provided plenty of drama, water-cooler fodder and new details about Kilpatrick’s mysterious personal finances and secret deals leading up to his September 2008 resignation and jailing.

“Ultimately, Wayne Circuit Judge David Groner will decide whether any of the new details are relevant to prosecutors’ claims that Kilpatrick willfully is violating his probation by hiding his wealth and halving his monthly $6,000 payments toward $1 million in restitution.”
