Detroit Strip Clubs: Conyers’ sentencing date nears
March 9, 2010 at 1:48 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsU.S. District Judge Avern Cohn is to sentence Conyers on Wednesday after she pleaded guilty in June to bribery conspiracy, a five-year felony.
Conyers admitted to taking at least $6,000 in cash in connection with the $1.2 billion sludge contract the Detroit City Council awarded to Synagro Technologies Inc. in 2007, with Conyers casting the deciding vote.
But in a sentencing memorandum unsealed Monday, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael Bullotta and Mark Chutkow said evidence at the trial of political consultant Sam Riddle, Conyers’ ex-chief of staff, showed her corruption went far beyond the Synagro deal.
Prosecutors estimated Conyers and Riddle extracted about $69,500 from Synagro, a technology company, a strip club consultant, a real estate developer and a Greektown businessman with matters before the City Council or a city pension fund where Conyers sat as a trustee.
