      Well, the legal system is really easy to break - look at what's happening in other countries. The legal system has always been badly-made, and a huge scandal like this one was bound to happen at some point. That said, this is sickening.

      Hey, sorry this is such a bad post. I don't know much about it. But you made the thread = it's going to be a great thread = get into it before it gets out of control with loads of people/ flaming.

      Nothing in life can be said to be unfair - everything is the result of freedom and where would freedom be without the feedom to take the consequences?

      Yeah, it makes you wonder how much of that stuff is going on everywhere else.

      I'm surprised you are the only person who has had anything to say about the story so far. With all of the Ron Paul cheering, Bush bashing, corporations despising, war protesting, and 9/11 conspiracy talk that goes on here, this thread is pretty barren after thirteen or whatever hours. I thought Mystic would have already told at least twenty people how stupid they are.

      I'm not sure I follow, could you give a little summary of whatever's going on?

      Do you remember the enormous tobacco class action lawsuit of a few years back? One of the plaintiff's attorney's involved in it was the Oxford, Mississippi lawyer Dickie Scruggs. At one point, he was involved in an enormous asbestos lawsuit. One of his partners in that case was the Jackson attorney William Wilson. It was later brought to Wilson's attention that Dickie Scruggs apparently owed him more than $15 million in attorney's fees. Scruggs refused to cough up the money, so Wilson sued him for it.

      Scruggs got the lawyers Joey Langston and Timothy Balducci to represent him. Both of those lawyers have since pled guilty to bribing judges other than the one who is the main focus of this particular story. Those lawyers got the attorney Ed Peters to work with them. The judge in the Wilson v. Scruggs case was Bobby Delaughter, who used to work for Ed Peters when Peters was the Hinds County district attorney and Delaughter was one of his assistant district attorneys (a team famous for putting away Byron De La Beckwith for killing Medgar Evers, the subject of Ghosts of Mississippi).

      Now picture that. Two lawyers who have pled guilty to bribing judges were working with the former boss of the judge in their Wilson case. That judge, Bobby Delaughter, was discovered to have sent an email to his former boss Ed Peters with a rough draft of the decision he was going to hand down. That is a huge ethics violation by itself, and it also strongly suggests judicial bribery, especially considering the fact that he only awarded Wilson $1.5 million instead of $15 million.

      Delaughter has not been shown to have received any money so far, but there is another incentive being looked at. Dickie Scruggs' brother-in-law is U.S. Senator Trent Lott, the former Republican leader of the Senate. If the Republican Party were a gang, he would be one of the top lieutenants. Delaughter was seeking to be appointed by Bush to be a federal judge. There is witness confirmation that Delaughter was told by Scruggs through his partners that Delaughter would be considered for the position. There is also a record of Trent Lott making a call to Bobby Delaughter about consideration for appointment to a federal judgeship. It just so happens that the same day Langston and Balducci were arrested by the feds, Trent Lott resigned from the U.S. Senate. Apparently Lott caught wind of the fact that the feds were on the lawyers' asses because he ended up recommending somebody other than Delaughter for the federal judge position, and George Bush took Lott's recommendation for the other guy and appointed him.

      Ed Peters is now in the witness protection program. The word on the streets is that Bobby Delaughter is about to resign. If you look at the Delaughter picture in the article I posted, you can see that he is wigged out pretty bad.

      On top of all of that, there is evidence of other judges in Mississippi who have given really strange decisions when Dickie Scruggs was a lawyer in the case. Those judges have heat on them now. How state legislators and U.S. Congressmen other than Trent Lott might be involved is something I am not really sure about yet. I only brought that up because of what lawyers around town have been telling me. It sounds like a lot more might be hitting the fan in upcoming months. Stay tuned.

      Mystic, I just gave you a government corruption field day on a platter, and that is all you have to say? Clear cases of it that people don't really dispute don't interest you, do they? Are you sure all of that talk you have been doing over the past few months has been about true outrage over government corruption?

      Where are all of the government and power bashers? I thought a lot of you were obsessed with this type of stuff. Well, here is a case of it that can actually be proven.
