DETROIT, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Lawyers for an aide to former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick say they want to know how prosecutors went about obtaining thousands of her text messages.
Christine Beatty, Kilpatrick's former chief of staff and paramour, faces felony charges ranging from conspiracy to perjury to obstruction of justice based on the content of more than 600,000 text messages sent between her and Kilpatrick on city-owned pagers, The Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.
