DeLaughter still in custody, but ‘in transit’
Former Circuit Judge Bobby DeLaughter may be one step closer to home from an 18-month prison term.
DeLaughter, 56, of Terry pleaded guilty July 30, 2009, to one count that he lied to the FBI in a case prosecutors dubbed “Scruggs II.”
In that case, the government alleged that then-Oxford attorney Richard “Dickie” Scruggs and others bribed DeLaughter for a ruling in the legal-fees lawsuit Wilson v. Scruggs, which the judge presided over.
