The "Tangled Web" That Is Scruggs and Co.

Looks like the NE Daily Journal put out a tight summary of current court action re: Dickie Scruggs. Click on the link to see the case list (hat tip to folo):
When famed Oxford litigator Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, his son Zach and their legal associate Sidney Backstrom are sentenced on July 2, only part of a complicated legal drama will be resolved.

District Judge Neal Biggers Jr. last week set the sentencing date for the three men, who have pleaded guilty to charges related to the attempted bribery of a judge.

At least four related cases are proceeding, although they and other co-defendants Timothy Balducci and Steven Patterson have not been charged with any other crimes.
