According to the indictment, Circuit Court Judge Henry Lackey cooperated with FBI agents to help document the bribery scheme. Lackey was presiding over a case in which Scruggs had been sued by another law firm for more than $26.5 million in attorneys fees related to Hurricane Katrina insurance claims.

Spitzer and Scuggs - two scumbag attorneys soon to be disbarred.

Scruggs is no different than most lawyers.
It is impossible to become wealthy as a lawyer without endless criminal activity.

...of trying to bribe a Mississippi judge...I guess that we'll never hear about the successful bribe operations. Or maybe we've heard of them but just in the context of Scruggs' big wins.

Dickie is pleading guilty??? Must be part of a plea deal. I wonder if he’ll give up Trent Lott?

Sadly, plaintiff lawyers bribing judges is a common practice.
