He described Riddle and Conyers alleged acts of extortion, fraud, and monetary gain using her positions on the City Council and the Detroit General Retirement System board at length. He said the victims included two small Black Detroit-based businesses, Wireless Resources and the Phoenix Group, developer and restaurateur Dimitrios (Jim) Papas, Hustler Déjà Vu strip club executives, and Synagro Technologies.
This is the way business is done in the City of Detroit, he told the mainly non-resident jury. Throughout his opening statement and questioning of the first witness, Cares frequently alluded to Riddles conversations with representatives of the Kilpatrick administration. What he did not say, however, is Riddle was known to be an adamant Kilpatrick foe, calling him arrogant and selfish in an interview with The Final Call and advocating his removal by Governor Jennifer Granholm.

Hustler Déjà Vu executives, who are part of a national chain, are suing the City of Detroit, said Minock, because the Council did not grant their request to transfer a liquor license to their downtown strip club. He claimed they are using bribery allegations to facilitate their lawsuit. He could say little about Synagro due to Cohns restraining order.
