The space-time-continuum dilemma of Dickie Scruggs
I don’t know what might make Dickie Scruggs feel a little better these days, but I suspect that a favorable ruling on the defense’s motion for extending pre-trial discovery would be a good start. At the very least, it would relieve his sudden need to be cloned . . .
Dickie’s new challenge we can call “too much world and not enough time,” for — according to the Chamber of Commerce’s LegalNewsline (here playing mostly straight, though also referring to “the trial of [the plaintiffs]”) — yesterday Dickie (and son Zach and John Jones too) received subpoenas ordering their testimony in the McIntosh v. State Farm trial in Gulfport at 10 AM on February 25.
Yes, that’s the very date upon which, at 9 AM in Oxford, the trial in U.S. v. Scruggs is currently scheduled to commence. And yes, Gulfport and Oxford are 331 miles apart, now that you mention it.
