The Wayne County prosecutor's office went back to court today and has now amended the charges against Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Now two additional criminal counts have been filed against the mayor.

The amended complaint was signed by a 36th District Court magistrate It changes a misconduct in office charge and a perjury charge.

An investigator's report says the prosecutor's office has determined that Kwame Kilpatrick sent & received text messages with "intimate or romantic content" to several women who were not his wife nor his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty. According to the report, the office was able to identify the women.

The 38-year-old married mayor is accused of lying about an intimate relationship with Christine Beatty. Kilpatrick and Beatty also are accused of lying about their roles in the firing of a police official. Both deny the charges and face a Sept. 22 preliminary exam.

Mayor Kilpatrick says the Prosecutor has a personal Vendetta.

Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has accused the prosecutor of engaging in a "personal vendetta" in trying to convict him on perjury, misconduct and obstruction of justice charges. The mayor says that Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy's criminal case has "moved away from justice and fairness.

He said: “This prosecutor is on a personal vendetta. She has no case, and the city is tired of it. Now, let's do anything we can to keep the eye off the fact that she has no case. It's a perversion of the entire system."

This was Mayor Kilpatrick’s response to an effort by Prosecutor Kym Worthy to amend perjury charges in 36th District Court. The original amended complaint was filed on Monday, but the judge was “uncomfortable” with the package as presented which forced prosecutors to rework the document and try again Tuesday for which they received the amendments they sought.

Assistant Prosecutor Robert Moran told 36th District Court Judge Ronald Giles on July 3rd that his office would seek to amend the charges after he said text messages on city-issued pagers revealed Kilpatrick lied during last year’s whistle-blowers' trial of extramarital relationships. The perjury charge on the amended complaint would be changed to read "and others".

The 38-year-old married mayor has already been accused of lying about an intimate relationship with then-Chief of Staff Christine Beatty. Kilpatrick and Beatty also are accused of lying about their roles in the firing of a police official. Both deny the charges and face a September 22, 2008 preliminary examination.
