Y'All's Boy Is Gone: Bye Bye Kwame

Right now, Kwame Kilpatrick is entering a plea to save his life...


The deal calls for Kilpatrick to plead guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice by committing perjury, agreeing to serve four months in jail, pay up to $1 million in restitution, and serve five years' probation. He also agreed not to run for office during that five-year span.

The mayor will turn over his state pension to the City of Detroit, which paid $8.4 million to settle two whistle-blower lawsuits three former cops filed against the city. The mayor was charged with eight felony counts ranging from conspiracy to perjury to misconduct in office to obstruction of justice after the Free Press revealed that the mayor lied on the witness stand during a police whistle-blower trial and gave misleading testimony about whether he intended to fire a deputy police chief investigating allegations of wrongdoing by members of his inner circle.

SEE YA

UPDATE: 11:54 A.M.--Not only is Kwame gone, but Ella Bully Cummings is resigning as police chief this afternoon. The whole damn wall is coming down.
