Damn that, Never busted. Busted is what you see!
~ Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (KK) text messaging chief of staff Beatty on Sept. 12, 2002
Kym Worthy |
On Monday, March 24, the eyes of the world were on Detroit.
Kym Worthy, our always-vigilant prosecutor, finally held her long-awaited press conference on whether or not she would bring criminal charges against Detroit's embattled mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick. It took her about two months to answer "yes" to that inquiry. Her excuse for the delay is that she had to wage numerous legal battles with the mayor's team of attorneys for every scrap of paper she and her legal team requested as part of their investigation.
Some requested documents were outstanding as late as last Friday when Prosecutor Worthy was forced to go all the way to the Michigan Supreme Court to compel compliance. For other discovery requests, claims were made by the mayor's legal team that documents were "lost" or "destroyed," presumably by the mayor and his surrogates.
Worthy brought a 12-count criminal indictment – 15 felony charges in all (eight against Mayor Kilpatrick; seven against his former chief of staff and concubine, Christine Beatty) – including: perjury, obstruction of justice, misconduct in office, perjury in a court proceeding, perjury other than a court proceeding and conspiracy.
Let us remember that Worthy only took up this case under tremendous public pressure once some of the text messages between Kilpatrick and Beatty were published from a Freedom of Information Act request, not by the good prosecutor's office, but by the Detroit Free Press and only after years of legal wrangling with the mayor and his legion of taxpayer-paid attorneys.
Prosecutor Worthy had the nerve to lecture the American people about the rudiments of our constitutional republic and what the symbols of Lady Justice mean, but she forgot one aspect implicit in the balance scales she holds aloft: time – tick-tock-tick-tock.
It didn't take Worthy 59 days to bring felony charges against the mayor, it took her over six years!
- Six years since the infamous wild sex party at the Manoogian Mansion in October 2002, a party that the mayor and his buddy, Republican Attorney General Mike Cox, to this day call "an urban legend."
- Six years since the mayor's wife, Carlita Kilpatrick, somehow got wind of the party, perhaps catching the mayor in the very act with dancer Tamara "Strawberry" Greene.
- Six years since the savage beat-down Ms. Greene took from Mrs. Kilpatrick, an incident corroborated by retired police clerk Joyce Rogers, who read the original police report (now lost) and gave a sworn deposition about that event.
- Six years since Tamara Greene was rushed to a nearby hospital by the mayor's bodyguards where soon thereafter all medical records of this event mysteriously disappeared (even computer copies?)
- Five years since the head of internal affairs, Deputy Police Chief Gary Brown, mayor bodyguard Harold Nelthorpe and 31-year veteran Lt. Alvin Bowman were all treacherously and unjustly fired by the evil trinity of Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings, Beatty and Kilpatrick, costing the city of Detroit over $9 million in a subsequent whistleblower lawsuit in 2007.
- Five years since their investigation was abruptly barred by the mayor's corrupt crony, Bully-Cummings, when it got too close to the truth about the parties, the strippers, the numerous extramarital affairs, the expensive trips on private jets and spas, rampant nepotism, rigged bids to cronies, etc. – all on the taxpayers tab.
- Five years since a second dancer at the party who fled the city after Greene's murder was tracked down to Atlanta, Ga., and killed by the same 40-caliber Glock police-issued weapon, according to Lt. Bowman.
- Five years since a major unsolved murder case sat on Prosecutor Worthy's desk gathering dust with hardly a peep from our zealous and contentious legal official until the Detroit Free Press on Jan. 23 released excerpts of over 14,000 text messages, covering only a four-month period in 2002 and 2003 and only of Beatty's text messenger devise, yet Worthy has the arrogance to lecture Detroiters and America on the precepts of our legal system and justice. This is beyond the pale.
Kym Worthy is at best a mediocre prosecutor, at worse an incompetent public official that in other more well-ordered parts of the country would be a third-rate lawyer on the verge of disbarment, not functioning as our county's chief legal officer.
To give you an idea of the real Kym Worthy, allow me to quote from an earlier column, "Detroit's middle-finger salute":
A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from a retired Detroit police officer named Larry Nevers (a member of STRESS [Stop the Robberies Enjoy Safe Streets]), who was one of the officers unjustly and for crass political reasons put on trial regarding the 1992 accidental death of Malice Green – Detroit's version of the Rodney King affair. To avoid bad press the Detroit City Council in a gutless move quickly awarded Malice Green's family $5.1 million in damages.
The notoriety from this racially hysterical case catapulted an inconspicuous DA of unremarkable talent (Kym Worthy) to win a large verdict against white police officers "who killed Malice Green," and parlay that into a judgeship and now her current position, Wayne County Prosecutor.
Yet, that same speed Kym Worthy used to exploit an accidental death of a unruly drug addict by the police, is slow as frozen molasses to bring perjury charges against Mayor Kilpatrick despite the vast powers and resources of her office and the fact that Detroit Free Press columnists have basically written the legal brief for her case.
Like Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama, Kym Worthy is a typical liberal hack politician who is part of the Michigan Democrat Machine. She does what she has to do to keep her patronage job as Wayne County Prosecutor. How? By keeping the black masses angry, frustrated and in a constant state of expectancy about the downfall of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, six years after the fact.
Monday's press conference was a big charade. Worthy staged the entire event as she and she alone has flown in with her cape and her boots and will get us (Detroiters) justice. Balderdash!
Worthy, like so many of our craven pols on both sides of the aisle all over America, has built her career on lies, racial pandering, opportunism, shameless ambition and Sistergirl demagoguery. She knows that the eyes of the world are on Detroit, and she is going through all the motions to bamboozle the blacks of Wayne County who will next year no doubt re-elect this opportunist once again, regardless of whether or not she and her legal "dream team" even have the ability to put this delusional, narcissistic, psychopathic "leader" in prison.
Black people of Detroit have made themselves the laughingstock of the world because of their irrational 75-year love affair with liberalism and the Democrat Party, which forbids ideological or public policy competition. Moreover, Detroit has made every closet racist self-righteously say inwardly, "See, I told you Negroes can't govern themselves!" This state of affairs vexes me to no end, for I was born and raised in Detroit. I was educated here, and my family and I presently worship in this city.
D-Day for KK? We shall see, but don't hold your breath. After all, we are talking about Detroit, which Forbes Magazine awarded the villainous designation "America's most miserable city."
