My conclusion (which in retrospect may not have been that clearly stated) was not intended to convey merit or lack thereof for the McIntosh case. My only conclusion is, just like the Johnny Jones civil case on fees, continuing to have the case drag out with document production/discovery/hearings/testimony, etc. is bad for Scruggs in a criminal context. And by bad, I mean really bad. Pushing bad civil litigation positions has continually placed Scruggs in increasing criminal/PR peril. NMC, thanks for the bump.
