(AP) -- Lawyers for former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick say there's no proof that he obstructed the investigation into the murder of a stripper killed in 2003. Kilpatrick's legal team is asking a judge to dismiss a lawsuit by Tamara Greene's family. The court filing was made under seal a week ago, but federal Judge Gerald Rosen ordered it unsealed Wednesday.
Greene's family is suing the city of Detroit and Kilpatrick, claiming they stifled the probe when he was in office. No one has been charged in her fatal shooting. Kilpatrick's lawyers say many officers have said in depositions there was no interference. They claim Greene died because of a feud between drug dealers.
There's an allegation - never proved - that Greene danced at the mayoral mansion in 2002 and was attacked by Kilpatrick's wife.
