Delays in Scruggs case move trial again

U.S. District Judge Neal Biggers told those in his courtroom Wednesday morning that Scruggs’ bribery trial will begin March 31 instead of Feb. 25. Following the November indictment of Scruggs and four others, the first trial date was set for Jan. 22.

“I’m not going to continue this trial for a long period of time,” Biggers said.
