Prosecutors: Kilpatrick may have committed perjury
Comments 0 | Recommend 0DETROIT (AP) - Prosecutors say former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick may have committed perjury when he filed a motion to reconsider restitution payments to the city.
At issue is an affidavit signed by Kilpatrick on March 24. Prosecutors have said Kilpatrick is not being truthful about his personal finances.
He returned Thursday to Wayne County Circuit Court for a restitution hearing, and may be called to testify.
Kilpatrick, who now lives outside Dallas with his family, is seeking to have his monthly restitution payments reduced to $3,000 from $6,000.
Kilpatrick resigned as mayor in September 2008 after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice and pleading no contest to assault. He spent 99 days in jail and was ordered to repay $1 million as part of his plea.
