"Kilpatrick says he doesn’t have the money for $79,000 restitution payment, files motion to halt judge's order."

We knew this would happen sooner or later. I'm suprised it took so long.

The former Detroit mayor “has as of yet not been able to come up with the amount … and is unlikely to do so within the time allowed by the court,” Farmington Hills attorney Daniel Hajji said in the emergency motion.

Hajji said the new payments would cause Kilpatrick and his family “manifest hardship … as well as impede in his ability to earn income. ...”

The revised payments should be canceled, Hajji said, because the Wayne County Prosecutors failed to fully prove the changes were needed.

The bit about "failed to fully prove the changes were needed" really takes balls.
