Will Dickie Scruggs roll over on bigger fish?
It is hard to imagine the kind of leverage the Feds now have on Dickie Scruggs. They’ve indicted his son. They have his co-conspirator on tape. They have physical evidence (the jury consultant agreement and $40,000 check) in hand. There is rumor that Balducci got pulled over earlier and has already started to sing. But…

Bribery charge: Reads like a Grisham novel
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/30/7 The bribery charges against multimillionaire lawyer Dickie Scruggs and four others reads like it came out of the fertile mind of another Oxford lawyer: John Grisham. But could Grisham, known for his blockbuster novels with courtroom settings, have even come up with something so bizarre? As fiction, who would believe it?…

A lot hinges on timing in resignation of U.S. Sen. Trent Lott
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/30/7 But now, in his utterly surprising move to give up one of the state’s highly-valued Senate seats, Trent seems back on his game of only making closely calculated career moves. My instincts tell me Trent is pulling a two-pronged maneuver: First, like baseball’s classic Tinker to Evers to Chance double play…

And yet still more on the Scruggs indictment
And yet still more on the Scruggs indictment Who was the “insider” in the FBI’s investigation of the alleged Scruggs bribery conspiracy? I think I’ve got the question right: who, rather than if. If you read the indictment and see the verbatim quotes of statements made to Judge Lackey, you have to conclude he was…

Dickie Scruggs at the eye of a storm
Katrina lawyer at the eye of a storm “It just boggles the mind,” said Jack Denton, a trial attorney in Biloxi, Miss. “Here is a man who has had an enormous amount of success, who reached a level very few attorneys, if any, have reached. Why would he risk everything over a legal dispute over…

Dickie Scruggs says he will continue with Katrina insurance cases
Scruggs says he will continue with Katrina insurance cases “The unfortunate events of yesterday do not necessarily mean there’s going to be a change in the team that’s prosecuting (Scruggs’) cases,” said attorney Joey Langston, who represents Scruggs’ firm but isn’t an employee. “They have invested an enormous amount of time and effort in these…

How Scruggs Case Came Together
How Scruggs Case Came Together The Mississippi state court judge who prosecutors say was offered a bribe in a case involving high-profile plaintiffs’ attorney Richard “Dickie” Scruggs said he experienced a “shock that I can’t put into words” when first approached. In an interview recounting the episode, Judge Henry Lackey said the overture came from…

Scruggs indictment, day two
Scruggs indictment, day two Jeralyn Merritt at TalkLeft writes that Judge Lackey “presumably [agreed] to tape his calls with the defendants. I suspect the F.B.I. also got a wiretap on Scruggs’ or his co-defendants’ phones, since there are several calls described in the Indictment that don’t involve Judge Lackey. Getting a wiretap on a law…
