Joey and Tim represented Scruggs in that case. It could be a reference to the Wilson and/or the Luckey case. Why all of the tears for Jack Dunbar, you guys? Jack was just defending all the money he awarded Dickie in arbitration. Why? Jack's service to Delaughter as special master in Eaton overlaps his representation of Scruggs in the Wilson matter. Did Delaughter or Dunbar reveal this relationship to Wilson? Also does this transcript make anyone see that Hood is not connected to Scruggs as tightly as everyone thought? Or Not? I don't know what to think. The Merkel reference could be a reference to Merkel vs. Scruggs. Joey and Tim represented Scruggs in that case.

So because of all this that has come up. So get it right. Get it how you want it 'cause we're paying for it and get it done right" from page 17-30, they've had a three way conversation about the entry of the order. That's where Zach is most thoroughly nailed in these 2 transcripts. I'd have to look back to see what else is out there.

There's a real quality of pretending to the way these people operate. "dumb ass"? Don't think I've ever heard anyone call Jack Dunbar a dumb ass before. it’s part and parcel of these transcripts, Homer Rex. There’s a real quality of pretending to the way these people operate.

Where is it in plain English that Zach knew they were bribing Lackey, as opposed to Tim B. using his frienship with Lackey to get things done in their favor. OK, I have read all the transcripts.

Not saying it proves the crime -- but if that's how they view him, who once represented Scruggs in the Lucky/Wilson matter, then it speaks volumes about how they view the practice of law.

This is partly based on my reading a lot of these cases. Scruggs flails around A WHOLE LOT, hiring lawyers right and left, swapping around who does what, and also seeming to have a multiple teams running off in different directions. I think Backstrom is saying that he knows Scruggs called Dunbar (who had represented Scruggs for years in the Luckey and Wilson fee cases) and speculating that Scruggs may be calling Dunbar and charging off in an inconsistent direction.
