A lawyer for a former aid and ex-lover of Kwame Kilpatrick says his client won't testify at the ex-Detroit Mayor's kickback and corruption trial. Christine Beatty isn't on the witness list for the defense, and prosecutors aren't calling her either.

42-year-old Beatty was a recurring figure in testimony last week in the federal corruption case against Kilpatrick.  Kilpatrick faces tax conspiracy, fraud, extortion and bribery charges.
