Ex-Hip-Hop Mayor Will Return To The Iron College!

The hip-hop mayor might return back to the iron college.

BREAKING: KWAME KILPATRICK, FORMER MAYOR OF DETROIT WAS FOUND GUILTY IN A FEDERAL CORRUPTION SCANDAL.

Kwame Kilpatrick was the mayor of Detroit for six years. He was dubbed by The Source Magazine as the "Mayor Of Hip-Hop" during the early 2000s. Being a young mayor of a major city literally went to his head.

During his term as mayor, Detroit went for broke. The mayor was plagued with corruption, sex scandals and often used threats of retaliation against whistleblowers. Yeah, just like a hip-hop rapper!

Well today, the U.S. federal court will deliver the fate of the 42-year old Kilpatrick.

Seems like a legacy was so tarnished, his own mother Carolyn, a U.S. Congresswoman was defeated in a primary against a candidate that didn't carry the Kilpatrick name.

Kilpatrick served a year in state prison after the jury found him guilty in corruption. The FBI and state police were looking into Kilpatrick and some of his friends and family. Incidents such as an unlicensed firearm, a bunch of parties at the mayor's home, nepotism, a murdered stripper, a mistress who worked as his personal secretary, and hundreds of text messages being sent through city cells torpedoed Kilpatrick's career.

Kilpatrick was again indicted on new corruption charges, in what a federal prosecutor called a "pattern of extortion, bribery and fraud" by some of the city's most prominent officials. His father, Bernard Kilpatrick was also indicted as was contractor Bobby Ferguson, Kilpatrick's aide Derrick Miller, and Detroit water department chief Victor Mercado.

The original 38-charge indictment listed allegations of 13 fraudulent schemes in awarding contracts in the city's Department of Water and Sewerage, with pocketed kickbacks of nearly $1 million.

He was arraigned in 2011, on charges in the 89-page indictment. Federal prosecuting attorneys proposed a trial date in January 2012, but defense attorneys asked for a trial date in the summer of 2012.

Now if Kilpatrick is to be found guilty by the court, he will get 30 years in federal prison.

A reminder to anyone who understand the legal system. If you're sentenced to state prison, you have a chance to get credit off your sentence if you can provide proof you're not a threat to society. Mainly if you're on good behavior, you're likely to get a reprieve. That's somewhat like a probation if you can not be around firearms, drugs and anything that merits to illegal activity.

In federal prison, you are to serve the sentence full. There are no chances for reprieve. The only way a federal inmate gets out is serving a full term or a presidential pardon. Based on the severity of sentence, you're not likely to get a pardon from the president.
