Noteworthy cases

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick

At the sentencing for Kwame Kilpatrick, the former mayor lashed out at Governor Jennifer Granholm, who held hearings to remove him from office. He also said, "you done set me up for a comeback." Judge Groner was "'shocked' by the comments." Further, "That night the community expected to hear a message of humility, remorse and apology," Groner said. "Instead, we heard an arrogant and defiant man who accused the governor, among others, for his downfall." Judge Groner told Kilpatrick that he mislead the city council "all in an attempt to protect your political career... At a time when this city needed transparency, accountability and responsibility, you exhibited hubris and privilege at the expense of the city," the judge said.
