BEN SCHMITT, Detroit Free Press
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said today that she will hold a news conference at 11 a.m. Monday to reveal her decision about whether to charge Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick in the text message scandal.
Worthy’s probe stems from a Free Press report in January that revealed that text messages between Kilpatrick and then-chief of staff Christine Beatty showed the pair lied at a police whistle-blower trial last summer when they testified they were not romantically involved. The trial, and subsequent settlement of two police lawsuits, cost taxpayers more than $9 million.
