Decisions were handed down in former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's racketeering and extortion trial today. Then-city contractor Bobby Ferguson and Kilpatrick's father, Bernard Kilpatrick, were tried, too, says ABC Action News 7 WXYZ. A federal jury decided today that Kwame Kilpatrick ran a criminal enterprise as mayor of Michigan's largest city. The jury determined that extortion, bribes and kickbacks, bid-rigging, and shakedowns took place, says the Detroit Free Press.
