| Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been ordered to the county jail after a judge found the mayor violated the terms of his bond by going to Canada and not informing the court. The ruling by Judge Ronald Giles came after the mayor apologized to the court, saying it won't happen again. The judge says he would have given the same treatment to any criminal defendant. Kilpatrick's attorneys say they immediately will appeal the ruling. Earlier Thursday, Kilpatrick waived his right to a preliminary hearing and will head to trial on perjury and other criminal charges. |
