Kwame Kilpatrick loses another appeal to get out of federal prison
DETROIT โ Kwame Kilpatrick has been denied his latest application to appeal his federal prison sentence. The former Detroit mayor was sentenced to a term of 28 years in prison back in 2013 after he was found guilty on 24 of 30 counts, including racketeering. The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals had denied his original appeal of his conviction and sentence. He filed another motion in 2017 to vacate his prison sentence, and that was denied by a district court judge. Part of Kilpatrickโs argument that the district court judge was โbiasedโ involved a wedding card.
