July 15, 2009 at 9:36 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsShe also resigned from the council, putting an end to one of the loudest, weirdest, shortest, most polarizing and corrupt political careers in memory.
While Conyers plea agreement precludes any additional charges, U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn can consider the information contained in the indictment when he decides her sentence. Under the plea deal, the maximum Conyers can do is five years.
Conyers first took office in January 2006. Just 15 month months later, according to the indictment, Conyers and Riddle began their extortion racket.
The indictment charges:
• Conyers conspired with Riddle to hit up the owner of a technology company for $20,000 to make Riddle a bogus consultant.
• Conyers and Riddle pressured a Detroit restaurant owner to pay Riddle $20,000 for another consulting job that didnt exist.
• Conyers and Riddle received $25,000 from the owner of a strip club with an issue before the city council.
