Detroit (WWJ)  -- On the same day she filed an amended complaint against him, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick on Tuesday accused Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy of engaging in a "personal vendetta'' in trying to convict him on perjury, misconduct and obstruction of justice charges.
 
Worthy's criminal case has "moved away from justice and fairness,'' Kilpatrick said Tuesday following an event promoting upcoming Labor Day activities in Detroit.  Listen to what the mayor had to say. 

"This prosecutor is on a personal vendetta. She has no case, and the city is tired of it,'' he said.  "Now, let's do anything we can to keep the eye off the fact that she has no case. It's a perversion of justice.''

Kilpatrick claims Worthy's "entire office" is working on the mayor's case and said "no warrants are being issued on homicides and armed robberies are going unsolved all over the county." 

After telling WWJ there would be no comment,  Worthy's office issued a statement that reads:
"I will not respond at any time to Defendant Kilpatrick’s personal attacks.

As of two weeks ago, we have spent just under $99,000 on the Kilpatrick/Beatty prosecution.  We project that by the end of the fiscal year we will have spent $200,000. 

We continue to aggressively pursue all warrants and cases brought to this office by the 90 police agencies we deal with on a regular basis.    This case is but one of the many that we prosecute on a daily basis."

The amended complaint was signed by a 36th District Court magistrate. It changes a misconduct in office charge and a perjury charge.

An investigator's report says the prosecutor's office has determined that Kilpatrick sent and received text messages with "intimate or romantic content'' to several women who were not his wife or former chief of staff Christine Beatty.
  
The report says the office was able to locate and identify the women, but it does not list their names.

A message seeking comment was left with Kilpatrick's attorney, Dan Webb of Chicago.

The changes to the two charges adds language saying text messages involving women other than Beatty and Carlita Kilpatrick were sent and received by the mayor.

The misconduct in office charge alleges that Kilpatrick authorized the city to prevent the release of text messages containing intimate or romantic messages to women other than his wife or Beatty.

The amended perjury charge accuses Kilpatrick of lying under oath about romantic or sexual relationships

The 38-year-old married mayor already is accused of lying about an intimate relationship with then-Chief of Staff Christine Beatty. Kilpatrick and Beatty also are accused of lying about their roles in the firing of a police official.

Both deny the charges and face a Sept. 22 preliminary examination.
