They just announced that they will be charging Kwame Kilpatrick and his former Chief of Staff with 12 counts of perjury and obstruction of justice.
Personally I expect them to try and fight it until he is out of office. I would be suprised if he stepped down.

I think the chances are pretty good they will convict him, but I don't know if he will see any jail time.

Penalties for the charges range from five to fifteen years in prison. A conviction of lying under oath can bring up to 15 years' imprisonment.

I'm sure you know -- but funny you haven't mentioned...
His mother, Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, represents Michigan's 13th District in the United States House of Representatives, and serves as the Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus in the 110th United States Congress. Kilpatrick's father, Bernard Kilpatrick, served as Chief of Staff to former - Wayne County Executive Edward H. McNamara.
Looks like politics runs in his family, eh?
