Kwame Kilpatrick s commutation met with praise, scorn
Detroit Supporters of ex-mayor Kwame Kilpatrick are celebrating his impending freedom while detractors argue he earned every single day he was sentenced to.
Kilpatrick, 50, had his prison term commuted by President Donald Trump Wednesday after serving just a quarter of his 28-year federal prison sentence for his role in a racketeering and bribery scheme that rocked Detroit City Hall.
Trump s decision to commute the disgraced former mayor s term was met with praise from some lawmakers, residents and clergy but scorn from others who decried the long-term damage done to Detroit s reputation.
Warrendale neighborhood resident Veronica Armstead said she expects Kilpatrick will have support from quite a few Detroiters, but she won t be one of them.
