The state courthouse is abuzz this morning. Circuit court (where Judge Lackey sits) is in session handling misdemeanor appeals and is apparently abuzz with rumors that the motions hearing set for 10:00 in U.S. v. Scruggs will not be a routine motions hearing.
It may not be a coincidence that the WSJ went with their big summing-up story this morning.
“It may not be a coincidence …”
You know, I was wondering about that timing. Now I’m wondering even more … and about their sourcing too.
What are you hearing?
A reader emails, re the “With whom would you like to dine” question:
“Are they kidding? Perhaps as much as half of the venire panel that would be drawn for the Scruggs trial will not even know what this question is asking of them!”
(Mind you, this reader is local-bred, so don’t y’all start in on her.)
Meanwhile, NMC’s on his way to co’t . . .
Meaning there may be pleas????
I have got to get in on this thread for my email alerts…
Sorry, I don’t think I checked the box to notify
Beats me, irate, but that’s sorta what NMC’s post sounds like, huh? I can’t get hold of him so can’t advise more right now. Wooie, wouldn’t that be something though.
Y’all are getting me too excited for sitting down at a computer right now…
It’s 10.04 – have they started?
I want ‘on’ too.
JustOlMoi – good to see you over here. It’s a good place to be!
IF it’s pleas, it’ll surely be all three, wouldn’t y’all think? And we’ll know within the first few minutes, if anybody can get the info out. They won’t mess around with other matters first, if that’s what this is.
BUT I KNOW NOTHING YET, SO . . .
just heard that Dicki did plead- any confirmation?
Deal has been cut, Jr. no .. Dickie and Bacstrom have pled guily, Supertalk streaming is asking if this lets Jim off the hook or makes it worse for him.
