Report: Mayor’s lawyers offer plea deal

? Lawyers for Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick have proposed a deal in which he would resign, plead guilty to two felonies, make restitution and serve five years’ probation in exchange for avoiding jail time, a newspaper reported Sunday.

The Detroit Free Press quoted “a source familiar with all aspects of the negotiations” as saying Kilpatrick’s legal team also said he would give up his law license, not run for office for two years and do 300 hours of community service.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy hadn’t yet accepted the offer, the newspaper said.

A person briefed on the talks told The Associated Press on Sunday that the prosecutor’s office would not agree to any type of plea that doesn’t involve jail time. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of not wanting to publicly reveal specifics of the talks.

Kilpatrick, 38 and in his second four-year term as mayor, is charged with 10 felonies in two cases. He also faces removal proceedings set to begin Wednesday before Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
