Conyers and the black sheep
When City Council President Monica Conyers finally admitted that Reggie Esters, the ex-con she once helped get a city job, was her brother, she added that one can't pick their family. And according to data the Michigan Department of Correction has posted on its web-site, Esters might agree. The info sheet on Esters -- who is back in the clink for gun charges -- says that on his upper back and upper right arm he has the words "black sheep" tattooed. He also has four other tattoos that include the names of two different women, a symbol for the astrological sign "Gemini" and four tear drops on his back.
