Prosecutor Doug Baker in circuit court in Detroit proposed that Kilpatrick resign in exchange for dismissal of one of two charges. Baker offered that if the mayor resigns by Sept. 3, prosecutors would dismiss one count of assault.
Prosecutor Baker in open court offered to sell Justice for the price of Kilpatrick’s resignation.
Clearly this is a violation of the foundation stone of American and English justice, The Magna Carta, section:
# 40. To no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay, right or justice.
Let’s call this by it’s plain and simple name: BRIBERY.
If the mayor gives up his job a member of the Bar will sell him justice, and the Judge sat there, said nothing, did nothing. They should both be removed from office and the charges against Kilpatrick whether real or not should be dropped.
To compound proof this is a political prosecution,Michigan Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm announced Tuesday that she will hold a hearing to decide whether Kwame M. Kilpatrick should be forced from office, denying the beleaguered Detroit mayor's appeal to have the hearing delayed or canceled Granholm's hearing will precede the mayor's upcoming criminal trials.
A clear violation of American Law that every individual is innocent until proven guilty.

The myth of American Justice is under the watchful eye of the world. From the results of the Innocence Project freeing those wrongly convicted by greedy law enforcement and prosecutors intent on furthering their own political careers, to the accounts of abuse, torture, sodomy and homicide of America’s prisoners in Abu Ghraib, to the US Army’s admission it wrongfully and maliciously convicted 28 men in 1944, to the mistreatment of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, to a third attempt by Congress to subvert constitutional law by denying rights to those prisoners, to this blatant bribery by a member of the bar in open court.

"For the great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie- deliberate, contrived, and dishonest but the myth persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Too often we hold fast to the clichés of our forebears.
We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations.
We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."
JFK speech 6/11/1962
