Reactions to Kwame Kilpatrick's commutation, St. Clair Shores minister attacked, a cold Wednesday wind chill
Published
WEDNESDAY NEWS HIT - After seven years in prison and almost a years-worth of rumors about a potential early release, Detroit's ex-mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been commuted by President Donald Trump.
The former Detroit leader still had 16 years left of his prison sentence he was serving for corruption and racketeering charges related to a text message scandal that was uncovered while he was still in office.
Kilpatrick's commutation couldn't have come any later, with his release being announced the very last day the president was in office when Trump announced pardons and commutations for more than 140 people.
