DETROIT (AP) – A judge has ordered Detroit to give certain phone records to lawyers who want to know whether city employees had contact with a stripper before she was fatally shot in 2003.
It’s another development in a lawsuit filed against the city and former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Tamara Greene’s family claims the murder investigation was intentionally bungled. Kilpatrick denies it.
Greene’s family says her phone showed calls with prefixes that might belong to city employees. Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen on Thursday said the city must find phone records as well as turn over some payroll records.
In the weeks ahead, lawyers for the city and Kilpatrick will ask that the lawsuit be dismissed.

Judge: Detroit must turn over cell phone records in slain stripper case

Detroit — A federal magistrate judge today ordered the city of Detroit to produce cell phone records and other documents within 16 days to a lawyer representing the family of a murdered stripper
The city must produce personnel files of six city officials, including ex-Detroit Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings and officers who served on ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s security detail. But U.S. Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen will let the city redact personal information and details that could endanger the person’s safety.
Birmingham attorney Kirkland Garey, who represents the family of slain exotic dancer Tamara “Strawberry” Greene, argued in a court filing last month that the city has continued to delay turning over certain documents and records sought in the case.
Detroit Escorts: In the Works: “Silver Tongues,” the Environment, Being Big in Japan and …

His feature debut, “Silver Tongues,” centers on a duo of chameleons who wreak havoc on those who cross their path. The project, starring Lee Tergesen (“Oz,” “Generation Kill”) and Enid Graham (“Margot at the Wedding”), follows a couple who use their talent for performance as part of a dark game.
Driving from town to town, the two lovers don different personas to deceive and destroy the lives of the people in their path. But each manipulation begins to take its toll. Soon the performances spiral out of control, and the game itself threatens their very relationship.
“I first wrote the story while working in the U.K.,” Arthur told iW. He noted that his experience working as a prison guard, and later as a security guard at a brothel, gave him insight into the art of assimilation, which underlies the main characters’ modus operandi.

A lawyer representing the family of a murdered stripper are scheduled to appear in federal court at 10 a.m. today to urge a judge to force the city of Detroit to produce cell phone records and other documents.
Birmingham attorney Norman Yatooma, who represents the family of slain exotic dancer Tamara “Strawberry” Greene, argued in a court filing last month that the city has continued to delay turning over certain documents and records sought in the case.
Greene, linked to a rumored party at the mayor’s Manoogian Mansion in the fall of 2002, was shot to death in Detroit in April 2003. Her family sued ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and the city in 2005, alleging they obstructed the investigation of her unsolved murder.
