The Wall Street Journal, reports today that Mississippi plaintiffs attorney Richard "Dickie" Scruggs pled guilty to a charge of conspiracy in a judicial bribery case.
The surprise plea came during a hearing on pretrial matters. His trial was set to begin at the end of the month. Scruggs and co-defendant Sidney Backstrom both pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe a judge. Scruggs's son, Zach, also is charged in the case but hasn't entered a plea.
Trickie "Dickie" saved the tax payers a whole lot a money by "copping a plea" for judicial bribery. Does he have more or less grace than Bill Lerach, Robert Risk?
If you're going to put it out there you've got to make some sense in the first place.
