Wow. Judge Acker found Scruggs and the Rigsby sisters jointly and severally liable for civil contempt and a fine of $65,000 in the Renfroe v. Rigsby case, relating to failure to promptly return the stolen State Farm claims files to Renfroe's counsel. Here's the order, and here's his opinion. More comments to come later when the day job allows, but as for now, let me say this opinion is extremely well-written with the care and writing flair typical of Judge Acker's opinions -- plus, anyone who calls Jim Hood "a so-called 'law enforcement official' " is my kind of judge.
