A couple days ago we posted on the Dickie Scruggs bribery case down in Mississippi, wondering if the superlawyer's history of shady tactics hadn't finally caught up with him. See "Have Greed And Egomania Finally Caught Up To Dickie Scruggs?"
Today we learn that Scruggs' co-defendant, lawyer David Balducci, has entered a guilty plea in the case and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors by testifying against Scruggs. See "Lawyer Will Cooperate In Bribe Probe" in today's Washington Post.
For more in-depth, and snarky, coverage of the Scruggs saga, check out Overlawyered and Y'all Politics, both of which nicely picked up on the Curmudgeon's post on the case.

Aren't you concerned that maybe this suit, along with the takedown of Milberg Weiss Lerach is really part of a GOP conspiracy to gut the plantiff bar at the behest of their corporate overlords?
No, we don't share that concern. Scruggs, Lerach and their overpaid brethren in the trial lawyer bar are detrimental to the Democratic party. They pretend to want to help the "little guy" but they're not. People who help the "little guy" don't do it for massive amounts of money, and they don't take a 40% cut. We think they're getting their just desserts, just like the various corrupt Republicans recently being prosecuted (not as part of a Democratic conspiracy).
