According to the New Times article
by Mary M. Chapman, the verdicts brought to a close a trial in which discharge
laid out a complex case against Mr. Kilpatrick and his co-defendants including
his father , Bernard and they had used the mayor’s office to enrich themselves
for years. The ex-mayor’s friend and his co-defendants were found guilty of 9
of 11 counts including racketeering. The jury found Mr. Kilpatrick guilty of 24
of the 30 charges and his father, who found guilty of filing a false tax return.
As verdicts were read Mr. Killpatrick was by turns, sudden loss of courage and
shaking his head at his lowyer. Prosecutors also said he illegally used
nonprofit funds and state grants for personal expenses.

Not bad, but it is not often that the CAT-W includes readings on fraud and/or politics. What made you choose this type of reading?
