District Court Judge Ronald Giles, the same judge who sent mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to jail overnight, will soon decide whether Detroit’s mayor has violated the bond conditions once again when his visited his mother.

Kilpatrick, also dubbed “the playa mayah” for his hip hop attitude, had been barred from having contact with the potential witnesses of a scene in which the mayor has allegedly assaulted two investigators. They were about to deliver a subpoena at Ayanna Kilpatrick's (the mayor’s sister) house on July 24 and the mayor allegedly shoved a sheriff’s deputy on his sister front porch, next door to the home of their mother, Representative Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick.  

Giles’s hearing over Kilpatrick’s possible second breach of bond conditions was scheduler for Tuesday after prosecutors said that the mayor had contact with his sister over the weekend. The two were in the same building - their mother’s house - where they were both visiting on Sunday and where the alleged assault had taken place.

Despite the media frenzy about the case and the fact that the court filling from Doug Baker of the Michigan attorney general's office doesn’t sound very good for Detroit’s mayor, Kilpatrick’s attorneys denied that he was in trouble.

District Court Judge Ronald Giles is the same judge who sent Kilpatrick for one night in jail after the mayor violated the bond conditions by traveling to Windsor, Ontario, for city business on July 23 without reporting the trip to authorities. Mayor Kilpatrick left the Wayne County Jail on Friday after posting $50,000 bond. He faces charges of two felony counts of assaulting police officers.  

The mayor’s lawyers argued that their client had been informed that family members were not included in the magistrate’s orders. However, it seems unlikely that Judge Giles will send Kilpatrick to jail a second time after he was told by a higher court that he overreached when he revoked the mayor’s bond last Thursday.
