Disgraced former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been sentenced to 28 years.
Kilpatrick, 43, who did not testify during his five-month corruption trial, appeared in federal court Thursday after being found in guilty earlier this year on 24 counts, including racketeering, extortion, bribery and tax evasion. His friend and co-defendant Bobby Ferguson, 44, was found guilty of nine crimes, including racketeering, extortion and bribery, and will be sentenced Friday.
