Kwame Kilpatrick Kwame Kilpatrick expected to begin jail time.
The ex-Detroit mayor who pleaded guilty last month to improper actions in office is expected to start serving jail time today. Kwame Kilpatrick will be sentenced by a Wayne County judge, in the wake of perjury, obstruction and abuse of office charges, and can be free on good behavior after about 100 days. Kilpatrick drew criminal charges when it was revealed that he lied under oath about an extra-marital affair with his aide during a 2007 lawsuit that he settled with ex-cops who may have exposed the relationship. The aide, Christine Beatty, also faces charges and is scheduled to go to trial in January. An exclusive Detroit restaurant declined to press charges against Kilpatrick last week after he allegedly skipped out on a bill, telling management to "charge it to the city."
