Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said Wednesday that it will take two more weeks for her to announce her findings in a criminal investigation of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty. Most media accounts call Worthy’s probe an examination of perjury. Maybe? Maybe not. Worthy has subpoena power and she could get access to all the text messages and any other information that she deems relevant to her probe. We know from published reports that former Kilpatrick Chief of Staff Beatty produced more than 14,000 messages over the course of two six month periods. The cumulative number of messages from all the texting devices Worthy could have access to is
staggering.
From what’s been published by the Detroit Free Press, it’s possible that Worthy may need to hire TV’s Vanna White to help her spin the wheel of possible charges.
Who’s to say whether the Feds are looking at this mess as well?
It’s all speculation for now, but many people close to the situation believe charges will be filed. Detroit City Council member Joann Watson expressed that opinion this week on WCHB's Inside Detroit program. In the meantime, we'll wait for Kym Worthy's investigation to come to a conclusion, and we’ll examine the impact from all sides when AM I RIGHT? returns on Detroit Public TV on March 28.

I about was in tears when Kym Whorthy said she would press charges. Man, hopefully the Major will someday learn he is NOT a King!
