The Wall Street Journal has an article out (subscriber link) that rounds out a bit of the Scruggs indictment news. Some choice snippets:
In an interview recounting the episode, Judge Henry Lackey said the overture came from another lawyer he knew, Timothy Balducci of New Albany, Miss. “My first thought was: What kind of character flaw has he discovered in me that would lead him to think that I would do something like this?” said Judge Lackey, 73 years old. “I was furious. I mean, this strikes at the heart of our judicial system.”[...]
Mr. Scruggs’s attorney, John Keker, said: “I find it remarkable that this high-minded government witness is talking to the national media, and it makes me wonder if he is interested in notoriety rather than seeing that justice is done. I’ll say this—he sure as hell didn’t get bribed by Dick Scruggs or anyone else in his law firm.”[...]
Meanwhile, the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton said it had canceled a Dec. 15 fund-raising event for her that was scheduled to be held at Mr. Scruggs’s home.
