From the Wall Street Journal:
In a harshly worded ruling, U.S. District Court Judge William Acker recommended that the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama prosecute Mr. Scruggs and his law firm, Scruggs Law Firm, P.A. The court said Mr. Scruggs violated a court order about handling of documents in a case relating to Hurricane Katrina insurance claims.[...]
In his ruling Friday, Mr. Acker said that Mr. Scruggs shared the State Farm documents with Mr. Hood in violation of the court’s order. “Scruggs is an experienced attorney and an officer of the court,” wrote Mr. Acker. “His brazen disregard of the court’s preliminary injunction is precisely the type of conduct that criminal contempt sanctions were designed to address.”
Oopsie!
