A sad, yet historic day for the citizens of Detroit. Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick pleaded Guilty to two felonies in one of the scandals that rocked the City of Detroit. Sure to do jail time the disgraced jigalo mayor will lose his law license, pension, pay $1,000,000 in restitution and tender his resignation. The problem I have with the small penalty is that it costs the citizens tens of millions of dollars to try to get this corrupt jigalo mayor out of office. He fought the entire time, disregarded the law (one he has a license to practice) and didn’t care about anything but himself. His signed Admission of Facts acknowledges that he lied under oath.

There is an INCREDIBLE RESOURCE out there if you’re following the Detroit Mayor removal action. The Michigan Governor has posted everything on their website. I recommend you check it out.
So, I’ve been a little busy digging into the personal life of a political figure in San Joaquin County. Public Records provide a plethra of information and specifically divorce files. I see now why Ron Burkle wanted legislation to seal the records. They have child custody issues, money issues, restraining orders.
Since this is a new venture I’m doing it unpaid so the time and records are somewhat slim pickens. It’s truly amazing what can be found through public records. I’ll publish more after the BERNIE WARDS SENTENCING tomorrow.
I just read this story in the San Jose Mercury News:
A 16-year-old boy is facing homicide charges after Merced police said a 21-month-old left in his care turned up dead this weekend. WAIT! THERE'S MORE »
Bernie Ward is to be sentenced on August 28, 2008 by Judge Walker. The United States in their Sentencing Memo are seeking a 9 year imprisonment term. Bernie Ward is hoping for 5 years. Actually he’s probably hoping he got away with it, but if you read the DOJ Sentencing Memo and Ward’s Sentencing Memo you’ll see the facts underlying each sides position.

Yet another client of Mark Geragos is off to prison. You may remember the tiger attack last Christmas that killed one man and two brothers were mauled. One of the brothers is off to prison for violating probation. Read more on SFGate or here.
