AP Analysis: Minor, Scruggs cases force Miss. judges to rethink relationships with attorneys
JACKSON, Miss. — The corruption case involving Paul Minor and two former Harrison County jurists has changed forever the relationships between Mississippi judges and lawyers, a federal public defender says.
“Every judge in Mississippi has looked at what happened to Mr. (Wes) Teel and Mr. (John) Whitfield and rethought their relationship with attorneys,” George Lucas said recently.
Lucas, who represented Teel, said that “in terms of deterrence … this case has been a success.”
