Detroit, MI- Carlita Kilpatrick and father of the former mayor of Detroit, Bernard Kilpatrick filed a request in U.S. District Court in Detroit on Sunday in response to deposition requests by a lawyer for the family of the stripper, Tamara Greene, who was killed in a drive-by shooting in April 2003. In their request, they’re asking the judge to quash the subpoena.
Both Kilpatricks has given reason for not wanting to be deposed. Carlita stated that her testimony could be incriminating information against her husband, who is in a federal prison in Milan on state probation violation charges. Meanwhile Kwame’s father, Bernard wants to invoke his 5th Amendment privileges for self incrimination reasons.
The attorney for Carlita Kilpatrick stated, “Due to the ongoing criminal case in the state of Michigan and the pending federal indictment of her spouse ... in a separate federal tax matter, any information given could adversely affect that matter.” The Kilpatricks were to be deposed in Texas on Aug. 5-6.
If U.S. District Judge Gerald Rosen decides that the Kilpatricks must be deposed, they asked that the proceeding not be recorded.
Should the Kilpatricks be deposed?
Everyone in their right mind want to defend their loved one, but consider the family of the victim…Tamara Greene, they want justice as well. Where is the justice to her family? Not siding with one person or the other, right is right and wrong is wrong. Too many times the Kilpatricks, has slid through the hoop. This time everyone should hear exactly what happened. Since the city of Detroit has footed his bill this long, then they should be entitled to know.
It took Kwame’s violation of probation to finally put an end to the everlasting brick wall build around him to come tumbling down, before his other misdeeds were brought into the light. How much creditability do the other Kilpatricks have? I was taught birds of a feather, flocks together.
When being deposed if the truth is told, then Kilpatricks shouldn’t have anything to hide.
