From The Detroit Free Press

A deposition got under way this morning for Christine Beatty, the former chief of staff for ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, in a lawsuit brought by the family of an exotic dancer said to have performed at a wild party at the Manoogian Mansion.

“She has been the arms and legs, the eyes and the ears, of Mayor Kilpatrick through his horrifying reign,” Birmingham lawyer Norman Yatooma said on his way into the seven-hour deposition. “I hope to learn about that today.”

Yatooma represents the family of Tamara Greene, 27, of Detroit, who was murdered in a drive-by shooting in Detroit in April 2003, several months after she supposedly danced at the long-rumored but never-proven party at the mayoral mansion.

    Shame on everyone involved in this murder! Politicians should have background checks for criminal and morale acts before being allowed to enter any political arena.

    I knew he was bad for Detroit from the moment I first saw him. Don’t know why anybody voted for him at all. Kwame is sc** and the worst possible type too. The combined local/federal task force investigating him will have his *ss when all is said and done. No doubt in my mind though that he will eventually profit off a book and movie about him being the worst politician to ever breath air. He not only killed Tamara, there’s a whole trash can full of other sh*t he’s done while Mayor. That former police-chief (Bully-C**mins) better not get too comfortable in her retirement. After helping this dirt bag commit criminal acts against Detroiters, her butt needs to fry in the same skillet.

    Ijust wanna ask………does this Kwame Kilpatrick guy have a Ghanaian background

    There is this little thing called innocent until proven guilty. Not like someone doesn’t make a person guilty. Let’s get back to reality in this country.

    @baaadbadboy…. that’s a damn lie. LOTS of people voted for Kwame. he didn’t get in for 2 terms by sleeping his way to the mayor’s office. he worked hard (at the beginning). i was living in windsor through his campaign and first term in office and he did a lot for the city in the 1st 4 years and brought to life alot of things that former Mayor Archor had in the works or wanted to bring into fruition. Within his term the city actually started to look clean and there was actually things to see and do IN Detroit without having to drive 30mins out of the city. Business, lofts, condos and stores. It was looking good. After the superbowl it started the downward spiral into hell in a handbasket. But don’t act like the ppl never voted for him. They did.

    Money, and greed is the root of all evil

    Money, and greed are the root of all evil. The law of the universe is real. You will always get u’r come-uppins. With great power comes great responsibility, and he abused it. That’s why they are making an example of him. So be it.

    Why are we getting off base her. This is not about Kwame per se but about who killed Tamara Green. When the mayor starts quashing investigations and firing police something is definitely up. I fill bad for her son, he so misses his mother. Green family keep your head and prayers up. Prayerfully the truth will come out. I don’t think they will be coming for the boyfriend that was in the car the had the perfect oppertunity to shot him and the didn’t.

    hello

    @MsLee …Windsor? You live in a foreign country and think you’re gonna tell me what I know about my home town? I grew up on the northwest side sweety, down the street from UofD. 1/4 of my family tree has lived in Detroit since 1958. Telling me what you think you know from the other side of the river only shows that you don’t have a fkn clue about the real workings behind that dirt bag. I would look like a bigger fool than you to try to tell you about Windsor…or Canada for that matter. You’ve either lost your mind or you’ve never had one to try and tell me what I know about a no-good punk of a Mayor that hung out with my brother. I never talk negative about people and if you really knew me, you’d know that for sure. When I say that’s a slimey, funk-nasty, underhanded skunk of a negro, rest assured I’m am not just blowing smoke. That boy had plenty parties at the Manoogian, and not just the one where Karlita beat up Tamara. Yeah, tell me you know all about it from across the water–proves you’re the biggest DAMN LIE on this comment page.

    The mayors of big cities don’t really run them. They are just the public faces you see. The real power behind major metropolitan areas are the bosses who have dirt on the mayors and will hang them out to dry when they get out of line. So corrupt Kwame pissed off the city boss and had to pay. All major cities are corrupt for a reason.

    “@baaadbadboy…. that’s a damn lie. LOTS of people voted for Kwame. he didn’t get in for 2 terms by sleeping his way to the mayor’s office.”

    Sorry MsLee, but have you taken a look inside the city lately? LMAO!!! During those first 4 yrs and beyond, not only has he brought the city down with his scandals along with his criminal croonies, he’s been an embarrassment since he took office. He’s done nothing but lie, steal and cheat, and bankrupt the city since he took office. This is why so much of the city’s services suck, because of lack of funds he stole. I know I didn’t vote for him… Besides, when he ran for the second term, I thought they “rigged” it. I too lived on the northwest side, and let me tell you, if he had done soooo much for the city why are alot of the neighborhoods and major streets still blighted and in such turnmoil?

    anywayz, I hope Tamara Greene’s family do find justice.

    @ baadboy… ummm seriously? you know as well as i do that the only thing that separates windor and the D is water and it’s but 20 mins to cross that ditch. i’m well read and well travelled and took particular interest in what was going on AROUND me at the time. you know as well as I do that the city transformed quite a bit within the last 10 years, specifically in the last 5 and that was well within Kwame’s time. are you saying it didn’t? i’m not saying Kwame’s the greatest mayor of all time, but in the 1st term he DID make a difference in the city. you take it personal if you want to, but the fact still remains… now i see why they closed so many schools in 313/810 cuz clearly the education was not sinking in… lack of conversations skills and the ability to have a healthly conscious debate….

    All of those crooks here in Detroit are getting what they deserve. How did they think they would or could get away with this mess? That’s their problem, they thought they were bigger than life. Now they are about to ‘Do’ life!
