DETROIT — A lawyer who won a police whistle- blower’s case that led to the downfall of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick testified Thursday that he gave a copy of the ex-mayor’s text messages to the Detroit Free Press in October 2007.
The admission by Mike Stefani came during a misconduct hearing before the Michigan Attorney Discipline Board.
Stefani testified he obtained three copies of the messages through a subpoena shortly after his clients won a $6.5 million jury award in their case against Kilpatrick.
The Free Press said editors at the paper had no comment.
