Back in front of the court for reportedly breaking the terms of his probation and for avoidance of paying restitution back to the City as part of his previous plea deal, Kwame Kilpatrick has pled temporary but recurring insanity as a defense against jail time.
Kilpatrick's lawyer claims that each time Kwame had started to write a check to the city, he fell into a temporary but altered state, where he actually believed he was a spoiled, 5 year old girls. Recent visitors to the Kilpatrick home have testified that, "It was like having another child running around the house, often yelling 'I won't do it, I won't I won't", then storming up stairs and into her/his room.
The judge in the case was not about to believe the convenient dodge, or the convenience of the temporary insanity right at the time he needed to write a check. The judge was about to rule in favor of a jail sentence when Kilpatrick started pounding his fists on the table and declaring in a high pitched voice, "You can't make me eat oatmeal, I won't eat it, I won't".
The judge changed his mind and determined that Mr. Kilpatrick was no longer fit to manage his own affairs, "We'll clearly need to turn over the Kilpatrick estate to the city for payment of judgment." To which Kilpatrick quickly replied in an adult and calculated voice, "All right, all right, I'll write the damn check".
"I thought so", replied the judge. "You can fool your pastor, and the public of course, but your shuck and jive don't cut any slack with me".
