Worthy blasts City for blocking obstruction...

Makes major point that investigation not about sex messages...

Investigation focused on wrongful termination of police officers and misuse of public funds by mayor.

She made long preamble to importance of witnesses.. and how the entire justice system depends on it.. she repeated what the oath is... and then dropped the hammer.

"Oaths mean something" - They MUST matter and that's why witnesses take them and its so important that there are crimes if you don't follow the oath.

"Even children understand that lying is wrong"

"Our case will show public dollars where used, the justice system was abused, and the public trust was trampled upon"

Many have wondered if Prosecutor Worthy will charge Mayor Kilpatrick but what  will she charge him with. Will it be a felony such as perjury or official misconduct or will it be a misdemeanor like neglect of duty or obstruction of justice? Under the city charter a conviction on a misdemeanor would not require that Mayor Kilpatrick relinquish his position as Mayor, however a conviction on a felony would. Or malfeasance by a public official could lead the way to Mayor Kilpatrick either leaving or being removed from office.

According to what we hear on Monday morning at 11:00am Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy will charge Mayor Kilpatrick with 5 counts.

(1).Three charges,Perjury
(2).One charge, Obstruction of Justice
(3).One charge, Official misconduct/malfeasance
