Kwame Kilpatrick Back in Court DETROIT, MI (Associated Press) -
A hearing is to resume about former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's personal finances and a request to cut his $6,000 monthly restitution in half.

The hearing picks up Wednesday afternoon in Wayne County Circuit Court. It started last month and continued Tuesday.

Prosecutors contend that Kilpatrick has not been truthful about his finances.

Kilpatrick resigned as mayor in September 2008 after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice and pleading no contest to assault. He spent 99 days in jail and was ordered to repay the city $1 million.

Kilpatrick is a salesman for Covisint, a Texas-based subsidiary of Detroit-based Compuware Corp. This year he received $240,000 in loans from four of Detroit's most prominent businessmen, including Compuware's CEO. © Copyright 2012, Associated Press
