Well, this is the second most surprising thing I’ve encountered today. (It’s been a interesting day, in an Irish curse kind of way.) From the New York Times:
One of the best-known plaintiffs’ lawyers in the country, Richard Scruggs, unexpectedly agreed to plead guilty on Friday to a criminal charge of conspiracy in the attempted bribery of a judge.[...]
The single charge — five others were dismissed under the agreement — carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to the agreement.
Dickie’s son, Zach, is still reported to be heading to trial.
I’ll defer to David Rossmiller, who (among others) has been providing a good running commentary of the circus.
However, I can’t resist once again sharing some artwork I posted earlier:
