The deal also calls for Kilpatrick to resign by Sept. 28 and 120 days in jail. That sentence will run at the same time as the jail time Kilpatrick agreed to in a deal he struck with Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy.

The deal is essentially the same one Cox took off the table yesterday -- Kilpatrick will plead no contest to one felony and Cox will dismiss the second felony charge he brought after Kilpatrick allegedly assaulted two deputies in July as they tried to serve a subpoena at the home of his sister, Ayanna.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The hold up was due to lawyers huddling around hammering out the details, Cox said, kind of like making sausage. "There is a lot of pig squealing and blood and a lot of messiness.
