The ex-mayor of Detroit’s wife is suing in Texas to keep Michigan officials from taking her and her children’s assets to cover her husband’s debt. Former Detroit Mayor, Kwayme Kilapatrick is being sued for being involved in a cover-up involving a stripper’s death. This has been an ongoing case since April 2003. I have chosen this case in means of law within different states. The Kilapatrick family now lives in Texas but still have the ability to sue the state of Michigan. Mrs. Kilapatrick wants to order Michigan courts to reimburse her and her children’s money already taken from them. Although her family and their assets all belong in Texas, Michigan still has the right to enforce all laws upon the family because her husband’s scandal (case) did occur in the state of Michigan.

Wow, what a mess! I would like to know who paid for the stripper that was at the Mayor's formal residence. Does he have an informal residence? Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteI am going to agree with Mrs. Kilapatrick for the reasoning that it is not her or her children's fault that her husband is a low-life. I am curious if she contributed (worked) to the money that was taken from them, or if it is solely Mr. Kilapatrick's money that was taken. Very interesting case! Seems really twisted though and I feel bad for the victim's family for having to endure this mess since 2003!
