I have been hearing talk for a week that something was up with Langston, a close associate of Dickie Scruggs over the years and his attorney after the Scruggs scandal broke. Now it's confirmed.

Scruggs and others have pleaded innocent to federal charges that they schemed to bribe a judge handling $26.5 million in attorney fees related to Hurricane Katrina claims.
A truck could be seen outside Langston's office.
