Wait, There’s More
In addition to Kilpatrick’s team having issues with the length of the sentence, other factors might have played a key role. Kwame reportedly had a chance of catching COVID-19.
The coalition’s plea referenced the President’s recent pardons and commutations and the extremity of Kilpatrick’s sentence. According to the release, last month it was reported that a fellow inmate of Kilpatrick’s died on April 25 after testing positive for the coronavirus. Patrick Jones, 49, was serving a 27-year sentence for a drug-related crime when he became ill at the federal prison in Oakdale, Louisiana. (CBS Local Detroit)
Before You Go
Back in October 2013, Kilpatrick received the huge prison punishment. Prior to now getting out from behind bars, KK would have been over 70 years old if he had remained locked up.
