(AP) -- DETROIT - Kwame Kilpatrick's attempt to stop the revocation of his law license may send the former Detroit mayor back to court. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy claims Kilpatrick is breaking the terms of a plea agreement that sent him to jail in October. She's asking Circuit Judge David Groner for a hearing next week.
Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and agreed to surrender his law license. But his lawyer, Philip Thomas, says that didn't mean revocation. He says that's up to state regulators, not a judge. If Kilpatrick's license is suspended, not revoked, he could try to restore it.
Worthy is taking a hard line, saying Kilpatrick is violating the plea deal and the terms of his probation.
