Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Seeks Termination of Restitution Payments
Kwame Kilpatrick, the former mayor of Detroit, has filed a request with the court to terminate the restitution payments he owes to the city. Kilpatrick, who was convicted on multiple charges including racketeering and extortion, was ordered to pay millions in restitution as part of his sentence. His legal team argues that the financial burden is unsustainable and seeks to have the remaining balance forgiven. This request comes after Kilpatrick's release from prison, where he served a reduced sentence following a commutation by President Trump.
