Bobby Ferguson, the co-conspirator of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, followed his buddy out of federal prison Thursday when Judge Nancy Edmunds released him 13 years early.
Ferguson was serving 21 years for participating in a criminal enterprise to defraud the taxpayers of Detroit. After former President Donald Trump pardoned Kilpatrick, Edmunds must have figured it unfair to keep his stooge locked up.
So both men are now free.
But the $83 million the feds say they stole is still unaccounted for. Is the money in a hiding place where Kilpatrick and Ferguson can access it to resume their once lavish lifestyles?

After serving just 8 years of his 21-year sentence, Ferguson got out of prison early just like his friend, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
âObviously heâs in good spirits and very happy to be around his wife and his children,â said attorney Michael Rataj.

It was Bobby Ferguson, the longtime friend of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick who had just been released from prison 10 years early, thanks to a federal judge who granted him compassionate release.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds concluded it wasn t fair to keep Ferguson locked up given that Kilpatrick was freed after then-President Donald Trump commuted the ex-mayor s 28-year sentence in January. She also took into account Ferguson s health and vulnerability to contracting COVID-19 behind bars, where he had been sentenced to serve 21 years.
Rataj, one of three lawyers who argued for Ferguson s release, said his client was not only thrilled he was humbled.
