'Poster child for greed...'
|

We could not agree more with Dickie Scruggs' defense team's declaration that Scruggs has been made "poster-child for greed, attorney malfeasance and tort reform."
Of course the court papers, filed in Oxford earlier this month in an effort to move the case to another venue, stated that such a view of their defendant was unfair and a result of media coverage.
We agree with U.S. District Judge Neal Biggers Jr.,
decision not to move the case. In our opinion there has not been an abundance of press coverage - in fact we need more coverage of this case.
If the charges are proved true - and some of those involved have already pleaded guilty - this case strikes at the very foundation of the justice system of law upon which everything in this nation is founded.
