Kilpatrick’s Restitution Battle | Detroit News

Description

After 30 years on the bench, Federal Judge Nancy Edmunds is retiring—having presided over high-stakes cases from Detroit’s corrupt mayors to terrorism and gang violence. Now, former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is defending his financial record, dismissing a $823K restitution order as “ridiculous,” insisting no public funds were stolen. Though his 28-year sentence was commuted by Trump, he still owes the city—and his Novi home faces foreclosure for unpaid taxes. Meanwhile, Kilpatrick insists he’s still invested in Detroit’s future, crediting his administration’s parks and rec centers as the foundation for the city’s current progress.
