DETROIT (WXYZ) – Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is in U.S. District Court in downtown Detroit where lawyers will question him about the investigation into the rumored Manoogian Mansion party and the death of slain-stripper Tamara Green.
Kilpatrick was transported to the court house from federal prison in Milan for today’s deposition that could last as long as seven hours, say attorneys involved in the case.
Exotic dancer Tamara Greene was shot to death in 2003. It’s been rumored that Greene danced for Kilpatrick during a never-proven wild party at the Manoogian Mansion. It has also been alleged that the former mayor’s wife, Carlita Kilpatrick, assaulted Greene at the rumored party.

Detroit — Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is now testifying in the federal lawsuit brought by the family of a slain exotic dancer.
Just before 10:30 a.m., Kilpatrick, dressed in a blue business suit, walked down a corridor in the federal courthouse in Detroit and into a small conference room where his deposition is taking place. Kilpatrick’s hands were cuffed behind his back, and he was flanked by U.S. marshals and his attorneys.
Already inside the room were Jonathan Bond, the 17-year-old son of slain stripper Tamara “Strawberry” Greene, and Ernest Flagg, Bond’s father.
Greene, who was linked to a rumored party at the mayor’s city-owned Manoogian Mansion in the fall of 2002, was shot to death in Detroit on April 30, 2003. Her family is suing Kilpatrick and the city, alleging they obstructed the investigation into her still unsolved murder. The defendants deny the allegations.

Associated Press – July 29, 2010 4:14 AM ET
DETROIT (AP) – Imprisoned ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is expected to attend a deposition in a civil suit filed by the family of a slain Detroit stripper.
Kilpatrick will be taken from a federal prison in Milan, Mich., Thursday to U.S. District Court in Detroit. He’ll be questioned by Norman Yatooma, lawyer for Tamara Greene’s three children.
Their suit names the City of Detroit, Kilpatrick and other ex-city officials, saying the police investigation into Greene’s 2003 shooting was hindered.
Greene was shot to death outside her home in 2003. She’s rumored to have performed months earlier during a private party at the mayor’s Manoogian mansion residence.
Kilpatrick’s wife Carlita and father Bernard are expected to give depositions next month in Texas, where she lives.

Attorney Norman Yatooma says there is “no way” a federal judge will squash depositions scheduled for the wife and father of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick in an ongoing civil suit filed by the family of slain stripper Tamara “Strawberry” Greene.
Yatooma is representing Greene’s family, which claims Kilpatrick and other city leaders conspired to stifle a probe into the dancer’s 2003 murder, which occurred months after she allegedly performed at a long-rumored party at the Manoogian Mansion.
Carlita and Bernard Kilpatrick, who now live in Texas, on Sunday filed motions asking Chief U.S. District Judge Gerald E. Rosen to set aside orders they give depositions to Yatooma, who believes Rosen will not grant the request.

Detroit Strip Clubs: MIke Cox answers allegations on Kwame Kilpartick’s party Manoogian Mansion charge
July 28, 2010 at 10:01 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsAttorney General Mike Cox, candidate in the 2010 Gubernatorial primary, is answering the allegations by Wilson Kay, Jr., that he attended Kwame Kilpatrick’s legendary 2002 stripper party at the Manoogian Mansion in Detroit.
Some call it legendary because it is has been the focus of so many reports and a police cover-up. Others call it legendary in the form of an urban legend.
It is alleged that a wild party at the mansion, the official residence of Detroit’s mayor, was a prelude to the murder of Tamara Greene. As Attorney General, Cox lead an investigation that determined there was no evidence the party ever took place.
Kay, a five-time convicted felon, claims that not only does Cox know there was a party – Cox was AT the party.
The allegations, one week prior to a hotly contested primary, were quickly heralded by those believing there was a party and denied as a political ploy by those that do not.
