Gov. John Carney (D-DE) signed off on a pardon last year for one of the conspirators who attempted the kidnapping of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) Thursday. Barry Gordon Croft, Jr., 44, of Bear, Delaware was pardoned for crimes between 1994-1997 that included possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and assault and burglary. Additional charges were conspiracy, receiving stolen property and disorderly conduct.

The 44-year-old Bear, Dela. native was arrested and charged in a federal court in Michigan following the foiled attempt to kidnap Whitmer.

Delaware Department of Justice spokesman Mat Marshall said, “Needless to say, nobody — neither the DOJ nor the bipartisan Board of Pardons — would have endorsed a pardon had they known what the future held.”

Carney issued a written statement through a spokesman calling Croft’s new charges “disturbing.” He said anyone involved in the kidnapping plot should be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

I mean, he wasn't convicted of smoking pot when he was 18. He was convicted of violent felonies. Not impressed with Carney or the Delaware Board of Pardons.
