Kwame Kilpatrick guilty on 24 counts; Bobby Ferguson on 9
Jurors convicted former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and contractor Bobby Ferguson of federal racketeering and other charges, but only convicted Kilpatrick’s father, Bernard, on one tax charge. The verdict was announced minutes into the 15th day of deliberations. The jury spent about 79 hours deliberating following a five-month trial in federal court.
