Decision looms in Zach Scruggs appeal
Scruggs’ document accuses the government of prosecutorial misconduct, from admitting it created the bribery scheme to perpetuating false testimony.
“The government cannot be heard to say that there was no prejudice,” his filing notes.
The filings come after a three-day hearing last month about Scruggs’ appeal.
Biggers’ decision is likely to set U.S. legal precedent because so few appeals like this have been heard. Court observers predict Scruggs’ appeal will go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
