A federal appeals panel refused to grant former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick a new trial Friday, upholding his racketeering conviction and 28-year prison sentence.
A three-judge appeals panel in Cincinnati said Kilpatrick failed to prove his trial lawyers had a conflict of interest and failed to show that his lawyers were ineffective. Kilpatrick and Detroit contractor Bobby Ferguson also failed to show they were prejudiced by testimony from federal agents during the trial, according to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
