DETROIT – Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced to up to five years in prison Tuesday for violating the terms of his probation stemming from his conviction for lying under oath about an affair with his chief of staff.
Kilpatrick, 39, asked Judge David Groner to show him compassion during the hearing, but Groner said "that ship has sailed."
Groner said Kilpatrick would have to serve at least one-and-a-half years in prison, but that he would be credited for 120 days of time served from his original sentence. He is still obligated to pay back the remaining balance of his $1 million debt to the city of Detroit.
Kilpatrick, the father of three young sons, was led from the courtroom in handcuffs.
Groner ruled last month that Kilpatrick failed to report all of his assets and meet other conditions of his probation. In court Tuesday, Groner scolded Kilpatrick for his continued lack of candor about his finances.

Another one of Obama cronies .
i thought it funny that the word "democrat" wasnt mentioned in the title and wasnt visible until the only sighting in the 8th paragraph of the 12 paragraph story...
The media does what it can to hide things like that !
? 1:21 please show where Obama has anything to do with this
2:35, he was a mayor, not a national politician
Hey stupid a Mayor is a politician ! And he is a close friend of Obama !
Kwame ? oh no, not Kwame ! wtf ?!
isn't anyone named Bob or Jim anymore. I'll take a good ol fashioned Tyrone even. wheres Tito when you need him.
4:01, reading is fundamental. Note I said NATIONAL politician, as in representing a political party on the NATIONAL STAGE such as a Senator or Congressman. Sheesh, no wonder you people fall for everything you read in print.
