FOLO – Loose ends, theirs and ours
Loose ends, theirs and ours I’ve said before that I don’t envy the lawyers who’ve taken on the defense of the Scruggs accuseds.

ICLAWBLOG – Scruggs Nation, Day 20: the wire
Scruggs Nation, Day 20: the wire Just to return for a moment to the indictment itself (click here to see it), I’ve been mulling the allegations over, and I can’t decide about the alleged events of November 1.

Count on Moore to defy prognosticators
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal Editorial, 12/18/7 Political pundits would starve if our livelihood were dependent on accurately predicting what Mike Moore is going to do to.
