Kwame Kilpatrick, the former mayor of Detroit, got out of the courtroom with his hands in cuffs today. Judge David Groner recently sentenced Kwame Kilpatrick for five years behind the bar.

Kwame Kilpatrick already pleaded guilty last 2008 with charges of obstruction of justice. After he resigned as the mayor of Detroit he spent 99 days at the jail. At the same time, he also gave up his license as a lawyer, gave the city back its $1 million and swore not to enter politics for the next five years.

However, Kwame Kilpatrick violated one of these terms. Rather than giving the full amount of $1 million, he only gave a partial payment. Kwame Kilpatrick said that the salary he gets from the Compuware Corp., located in Texas, decreased.

At the same time, during the several restitution hearings regarding the collection of money that the former mayor owed the city, he failed to give detailed reports about his assets. Kwame Kilpatrick also failed to report the other conditions that are part of his probation.

The prosecutors present in every hearing of Kwame Kilpatrick also said that he had been lying after he got out of jail. They also said that Kilpatrick has the ability to pay more than the partial amount and he had been hiding all his assets intentionally.
