Kilpatrick is due in court over finances

Authorities want to know more about proceeds from book

Detroit — Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, facing racketeering charges in federal court, is set to appear next week in Wayne County Circuit Court for another hearing about the proceeds of his autobiography.

County officials confirmed the hearing Wednesday, one day after it was revealed Kilpatrick was late with a $500 restitution payment to the city. Authorities want to know more about the former mayor's finances — specifically, about the proceeds from the sales of his book, said Russ Marlan, Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman.
