Peter Karmanos Asks Trump To Pardon Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick
MICHIGAN (CBS DETROIT) - Billionaire Peter Karmanos Jr. wants President Donald Trump to pardon former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
In a podcast last week, Karmanos said he made sure Kilpatrick's clemency request letter made it to Trump.
"Kwame's conviction was a modern day lynching," said Karmanos on the podcast. "Twenty-eight years is too long."
Kilpatrick is serving a 28-year prison sentence for his conviction on racketeering, bribery and other charges.
