Detroit — Lawyers for the family of slain exotic dancer Tamara “Strawberry” Greene are scrambling to take about two dozen depositions in their federal lawsuit before a July 30 court-ordered deadline.
Norman Yatooma, who represents the family, said in a court filing lawyers for the city of Detroit and former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick — the two remaining defendants — have been uncooperative about scheduling.

Greene, who was linked to a rumored stripper party at the mayor’s Manoogian Mansion in the fall of 2002, was shot to death in Detroit on April 30, 2003.
