Scruggs Nation, March 10

On Friday I linked to a post at Law and More that discussed a recent American Lawyer article on Dickie Scruggs. I gave my quick take on Scruggs, without having read the article, but later that day I had a chance to read the story, by Susan Beck. I thought this article was very well-done, but I think it rushes by some of the more significant hypotheses one can frame about Scruggs. (Here's a direct link to the Law and More post, and here's a link to the American Laywer article on Law.com).I also read the long comment to my Friday post -- and I know who this person is and that he knows Scruggs very well. He believes Scruggs is a sharp businessman with a law license -- not a great lawyer by any means -- a guy whose interest in helping prosecute a suit against tobacco companies coincid
