Nathan Bomey, Matt Helms and Joe Guillen of the Detroit Free Press report that the historic hearings on whether a federal judge will approve Detroit's bid to exit the nation's largest-ever bankruptcy came to an end Monday evening.

"We think we made our case and we met our burden," Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr said outside court, according to the Freep.
