Ah, nothing says summer down on the delta like grilled, crooked, felon trial lawyer. Wonder how many folks wish they could be good neighbors for this cook out? From the SunHerald:
State Farm attorneys plan to grill lawyer Dickie Scruggs before he heads to prison.
The insurance company has subpoenaed Scruggs and his son, attorney Zach Scruggs, for pretrial testimony July 21 in the Katrina insurance lawsuit McIntosh vs. State Farm. The McIntosh case features dueling damage reports taken from State Farm records by two insurance adjusters, Cori and Kerri Rigsby, who believe the company wanted reports altered to minimize what policyholders were owed.
The Scruggs Katrina Group of attorneys represented Biloxi policyholders Thomas and Pamela McIntosh before their own legal problems forced the Scruggses to bow out of Katrina litigation in December. The Scruggses recently received prison terms for the attempted bribery of a Circuit Court judge in north Mississippi.
Dickie Scruggs is scheduled to report to prison Aug. 4, while Zach Scruggs is tentatively scheduled to begin his sentence Aug. 15.
