Just wondering, but why would Balducci be talking to a judge on the sly about a Scruggs case he is not a party to?

Entertaining comments all. I’m no lawyer but it seems to me that if you proceed with a presumption of innocence, Zach is clearly a victim here. Bal-douche-e got caught by the feds with his hand in the cookie jar and then offered to deliver Scruggs Law to get his ass out of the crack. Who among you really thinks that a jury will believe that Dickie would do this,one and involve his son,two in bribe and conspiracy. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Wonderfuls, y’all. I dedicate

If they had justice he’d be in penitentiary too”

to Houston Patton and Bobby DeLaughter.

this one would be on my mind if I was behind bars. Definitley brings a tear to the eye:

I’m Not The Boy I Used To Be By Charley Pride

Dear Mama I’m Coming Home Tomorrow
if You Don’t Mind Would You Meet Me At The Train
dear Mama My Wandering Days’re Over And It’s So Good To Be Coming Home Again
dear Mama We’ll Walk The Fields Together
and Through The Valley We Will Stroll Hand In Hand
i Just Can’t Wait To See You And Touch The Soil Of Home So Clean
but Mama I’m Not The Boy I Used To Be
for I’ve Been Gone Away Too Long And I’ve Done Everything That’s Wrong
but I Think I’ve Finally Found Myself At Last
and Just You Wait And See Another Chance Is All I Need
but Mama I’m Not The Boy I Used To Be

you See Mama I’ve Spent Time In Prison For A Crime That I’m Too Ashamed To Tell
and When You Meet Me There Tomorrow Don’t Be Surprised At What You’ll See
cause Mama I’m Not The Boy I Used To Be
for I’ve Been Gone Away Too Long…

Nothing online with the original recordings of either song. Here's Furry Lewis doing it late in his life (he originally recorded it in the 20s. This is a rerecording from 40something years later)

Here’s some of Judge Harsh blues:

Good morning judge, what may be my fine (x3)
50 dollars eleven 29
…
Baby cause I’m arrested, please don’t grieve and moan
Cause I’m arrested baby, don’t grieve and moan
Penitentiary seem just like my home
People all talking ’bout what they will do
Judge all talking ’bout what they will do
If they had justice he’d be in penitentiary too

“That’s why I like Lawyer Clark,
He really is my friend.
He say if you stay out of the graveyard, John
I’ll see that you don’t go to the pen.”

It was based on an actual lawyer in Brownsville, TN. You can hear a bit of it a this link.
