Scruggs indictment XI The assignment of steady continuing payments to Blake over the life of the tobacco settlement distinctly resembles a gesture toward diverting a share of the tobacco proceeds (a contingency share, as it were) to reward and incentivize Blake, or perhaps Blake-and-others-too, to work for the success of the deal. [corrected 12:24 on…

ICLAWBLOG – Scruggs Nation, Day 17: Jones v. Scruggs revisited
Scruggs Nation, Day 17: Jones v. Scruggs revisited But back to the central point of today: why would he do it? What Jones and Funderburg appear to be driving at is that acting in this way is a habit, a method of doing business. Seen in this light, the alleged bribery scheme is just an…

Famed attorney told to answer questions about leaked Katrina documents A federal judge has ruled that Scruggs and his son and law partner, Zach, can be questioned under oath about their handling of leaked documents in a Hurricane Katrina insurance case.

As If On Cue, the CL Carries Water for Speekah Billy McCoy
The most unpardonable journalistic sin is plagarism. The second is burying the lead. Today, the CL Editorial Board may have to beg for forgiveness in the second department. Today in their Editorial Speaker: McCoy’s the Better Choice, Hampton & Company seem conflicted about their choice. We find no fault in Smith – moreover, we like…

CL – Feds probe Hinds case
Feds probe Hinds case It began in 1994 in Hinds County Circuit Court when Alwyn Luckey sued his two former law partners, Scruggs and Scruggs’ then-law partner, William Roberts Wilson Jr., for what Luckey’s contract called for – 25 percent of the attorney fees from litigation against asbestos manufacturers.

SUNHERALD – Dickie Scruggs’ $50 million man
Dickie Scruggs’ $50 million man Blake will earn $50 million, court records show, for clipping newspaper articles and alerting Scruggs to maneuvering in political “cloakrooms,” as Scruggs put it, from Mississippi to Washington.

FOLO – NMC Checks Out Balducci’s Chops
NMC Checks Out Balducci’s Chops Tim Balducci apparently had a different theory. The first three are all criminal cases in which the circuit judge was Henry Lackey — and Tim lost! And lost on appeal!

CL – Mike Moore: Senate decision crushing for Dems
Moore: Senate decision crushing for Dems It was considered a near certainty that Moore would run. Since he chose to pursue private legal practice in 2004, it was common political wisdom that he was itching to be a senator, only biding his time until either Lott, 66, or Sen.
