4 months in jail, 5 years probation, not to run for or hold public office during probation period. Sentencing Oct. 28. Loses law license.

In Detroit it is an enhancer.
I’d bet the farm he eventually runs for the office again and is elected once again

I also want to know, did he LOSE his Superdelegate status (he was a DNC Superdelegate) or did he just not get to go to the convention?

...it’s an enhancer, but he can only dream of being 1/2 the scum of Mayor Marion Barry. Nice to have goals though!

So that means five years and two months from now, he’ll be re-elected to another term as mayor in Detroit, right?
