I’m sure other folks will edit this post for more details as they happen.
UPDATE from Jill Tubman:
Here’s a few more deets on the plea deal. Looks like there’s no avoiding the joint for Kwame.
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is expected to accept a plea deal on Thursday in his perjury case that will end his tenure as the city’s mayor and send him to jail.
Sources told Local 4, just past 9:00 p.m on Wednesday, the mayor and his legal team agreed to a deal, which includes the following: Immediate resignation; plead guilty to 2 felonies; pay restitution of $1 million; spend 4 months in jail; and cannot run for public office for 5 years.
