Mississippi attorney Richard Scruggs, already facing criminal charges in Alabama over his handling of Hurricane Katrina insurance claims evidence, was indicted on federal bribery charges yesterday in his home state.
Mr. Scruggs–leading the charge against insurers over disputed Hurricane Katrina wind-versus-water damage claims–was indicted by a federal grand jury in Oxford, Miss., with four other attorneys for conspiring to bribe a state court judge with $50,000.
One of the other attorneys indicted was his son Zachary, a partner in his Oxford law firm.
