DETROIT — Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s third trip to court in a week turned into a victory Tuesday when a judge threw out prosecutors’ claim that a visit with his sister violated the terms of his bail in an assault case.
Judge Ronald Giles agreed with the mayor’s attorneys that a no-contact order didn’t include Ayanna Kilpatrick, who is listed as a witness in the assault case.
Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty, were charged in March with perjury, obstruction of justice and misconduct in office in connection to testimony in a civil trial. Kilpatrick also was charged with assault as officers served a subpoena.
