Scruggs: Dismiss part of the indictment because Judge Lackey isn’t the federal government

February 12th, 2008 @ 12:07 am - by NMC · No Comments

Another motion filed by the defense asks for dismissal of those parts of the U.S. v. Scruggs indictment alleging crimes involving corruption of agencies using federal funds.

If you did not get enough of the esoterica of federal jurisdiction from my prior discussions of abstention in the State Farm v. Hood threads, this motion to dismiss is for you.
