With 71 percent of precincts reporting, Kilpatrick had 37.9 percent of the vote to former state Rep. Mary Waters' 37.6 percent and state Sen. Martha Scott's 24.9 percent.

He also has to pay a $1 million fine, he loses his license to practice law, and Kilpatrick cannot run for any elected office for five years. > >I spoke with quite a few Detroit residents today about the plea deal, and most people seemed relieved that this political mess - which has generated a ton of negative national publicity for the city - is finally over. > >"I voted for him the first time, but Kwame clearly overstayed his welcome," said one young woman. "But when his Mother [ Representative Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick ] stood up and told us: 'Don't let nobody talk about y'all's boy' , it was over for me. The both of them have got to go." > >One elderly man said he could have forgiven Kilpatrick for lying under oath about his affair with his former Chief of Staff Christine Rowland Beatty , but that another recent incident made him decide to stop supporting the mayor. > >"When you go around assaulting a police officer , you are just asking for t ...
