KK is glorified and revered. "The man" is after him and some residents of Detroit will not see him go to jail if they can help it...no matter how much he stole from their pockets...no matter how many people in the City he screwed [[both literally and figuratively)...no matter that he brought the City down to it's knees.

I'm sure that not all residents feel that way, but seeing the reaction of "some" who where outside the courthouse, he is still well loved and has deceived a lot of people, from the residents on down to his wife, children and other family.
