K, K, Kwame don't cry!
Guilty! Detroit's sleazeball mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has plead guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice due to his lying while under oath.
"I lied under oath," Kilpatrick said after he pleaded guilty to two felonies, a plea that will require him to spend four months in the Wayne County jail, to resign his office and to pay $1 million in restitution.
Kilpatrick will also agree not to seek office during the five years he is on probation and will surrender his state pension to the county. He will also surrender his law license.
In exchange for his guilty pleas, Wayne County prosecutors will drop the remaining six charges against him -- including the perjury counts -- and agree to not prosecute him for other issues that arise from the investigation into the perjury and obstruction of justice case.
The resignation is to occur within two weeks and he is to pay $20,000 of the restitution when he is sentenced.
The "Hip Hop" mayor will be frog stepping to jail right after the sentencing hearing on October 28th.
