DETROIT – A judge has ruled that Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick didn’t violate bond conditions in an assault case by visiting his sister, who is a potential witness for the prosecution.
Judge Ronald Giles agreed Tuesday with the mayor’s attorneys that a no-contact order didn’t include Ayanna Kilpatrick. The mayor spent time with his sister during the weekend.
Last week, Giles had sent the mayor to jail last week in a separate perjury case.
Giles had put the mayor in jail Thursday after learning he traveled to Windsor, Ontario, in July without notifying authorities, a condition of his bond in the perjury case. Kilpatrick was released Friday.
