Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, a one-time rising star and Detroit's youngest elected leader, was charged Monday, March 24, 2008, with perjury and other counts after sexually explicit text messages contradicted his sworn denials of an affair with a top aide. Kilpatrick says he looks "forward to complete exoneration" in the perjury case. He is pictured here delivering his State of the City address March 11.
