There are state legislators, Congressmen, other judges, and tons of lawyers being looked at in this thing. It just might end up being the biggest corruption story in American history. You heard about it here first. Get ready.
By the way, Bobby Delaughter was the assistant D.A. who prosectuted and put away Byron De La Beckwith, the white supremecist who shot the black civil rights leader Medgar Evers.

Delaughter became a judge soon after the Beckwith conviction. There is a scene in the movie where some local black politicians angrily say on the news that Delaugher and Peters are "putting on a show". Now I really think they were.
