Finally, Some Law Enforcement In Detroit

Just minutes ago, it became clear that Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy would charge lying, corrupt thug Kwame Kilpatrick and his paramour and former chief of staff Christine Beatty for conspiracy to obstruct justice, obstruction of justice, and misconduct in office. Kwame Kilpatrick will also be charged with misconduct in office, two counts of perjury in a court proceeding, and two counts of perjury other than in a court proceeding; Beatty will also be charged with two counts of perjury in a court proceeding, and two counts of perjury other than in a court proceeding. That adds up to a lot of jail time.

Only the rule of law will be able to rescue the darkened city of Detroit, and this is definitely a start.

But if you think this will be easy, think again. Deputy Mayor Anthony Adams declared on The Today Show that if Worthy prosecutes Kilpatrick, it will be because of politics. The brazen deception in which these people are engaging is amazing. The Fox News contributor is saying right now that this prosecution is a "no-brainer," and when looking over the evidence, I'm inclined to agree.
