The Wall Street Journal is talking about the explosive news that is coming out of the federal investigation of Dickie Scruggs—including Tim Balducci's testimony that Scruggs promised a judge that Lott would help him get a judgeship. That judge is Hinds County's own Bobby DeLaughter bringing this state mess home to our Hinds door step once again. The feds are investigating Lott's role, so keep an eye on what they release on this case.
Also, the WSJ gave a hat tip (gavel bang in their lingo) to Patsy Brumfield who is blogging the Scruggs morass for the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, which has done the best and most balanced coverage on the case in the state. Good for Patsy, a no-nonsense journalist I first met while covering the Killen trial in '05. Keep up the good work.
