It’s probably fair to say former Governor Dick Codey’s name wasn’t on the list of those urging mercy for radio shock jock Craig Carton.

But former Governor Chris Christie?

Different story.

This from 101.5 FM:

“Carton, who was convicted in November of fraud for swindling investors in a ticket reselling business, is scheduled to be sentenced on April 5.

“In his corner is former federal prosecutor and New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who was one of 90 people to write letters to U.S. District Court Judge Colleen McMahon extolling Carton’s character.”

You will recall that Codey, on the other hand, once confronted Carton.

When he was governor, Codey actually threatened to “take out” the former Jersey guy.
