Conyers Apologizes To Detroit: “I Don’t Want To Go To Jail”

From Freep.com:

Detroit City Councilwoman and admitted felon Monica Conyers went on television Tuesday to talk about council endorsements, hopes of staying out of jail and her plans to write a tell-all book.

And toward the end of her hour-long live TV show, Conyers apologized.

“To all of the residents of the city of Detroit, if I disappointed you, I apologize,” she said.

Just before the 3:30 p.m. airing, Conyers raced to the Highland Park studios of WHPR-TV (Channel 33), and stepped out of the city-owned Ford Crown Victoria in a dress with a strand of pearls and a light-colored blazer.

It was her first time addressing the public since pleading guilty Friday to a bribery charge. She started the show by telling viewers she wouldn’t talk about the case.

“I don’t want to get my judge mad at me, and I don’t want to go to jail,” she explained.

    lol…baby, most people don’t want to go to jail, that’s why we don’t commit crimes…These people know the Justice system will target black politicians more vehemently, why give them something to catch you out there??

    That’s laughable, BYE!BYE!BYE! and take your no good for nothing husband with you. Once i saw the email that Mrs. Cathy Hughes sent me about the proposed bill that the Conyers were trying to pass i smelled a rat. Sure enough Mrs.Conyers excepted that money to get the ball rolling to put black radio stations out of business. They didn’t so we shouldn’t SHOW NO LOVE< She’s a loser.

    Now she wants to appologize, but she wasn’t thinking about that when she accepted the bribe! They ought to put her arrogant ass under the jail!I really hope they find all of the ones that are dirty in this city on the city council and treat them accordingly!
