DETROIT – Former Detroit contractor and convicted felon Bobby Ferguson won't have long to wait to learn his fate in court, but now Kwame Kilpatrick will have to go first.
The sentencing date for Ferguson was moved to Friday, Oct. 11, at 10 a.m. The new date is just one day after pal Kilpatrick is set to receive his sentencing on Oct. 10.
Both men were originally scheduled to be sentenced Thursday.
