Kilpatrick spent some five hours providing deposition testimony Tuesday for a civil lawsuit brought by the family of dancer Tamara "Strawberry" Greene.

Greene was shot to death in Detroit in 2003. Her family is suiting Kilpatrick and the city of Detroit charging her murder investigation was obstructed for political reasons.

Kilpatrick, who is serving prison time for a state probation violation, was brought to U.S. District Court in Detroit for the deposition.

He is currently awaiting trial in federal court on felony fraud and tax charges.
