Scruggs Update

Just got off the phone with Ben creekmore, the District Attorney for Lafayette County. He and I discussed how the Dickie Scruggs pleading will be handled at the local level after Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood deferred the case to Creekmore.
He began his statement, "Judge Lackey went to the Feds, which was the correct thing to do. We don't want to pile on top of federal charges,"
Creekmore went on to say state charges would be filed if "any unique state injuries come to light."
Creekmore said they didn't get involved with the current case against Scruggs because "I know the Feds...we didn't want to interfere."
"I do expect we'll talk to the US Attorney to see if there are any unique injuries," Creekmore ended his statement.
