Judge Biggers Clarifies Two Issues

US District Judge Neal Biggers on Wednesday denied Dickie Scruggs’ motion to reconsider allowing him to add attorney Kenneth Coghlan to his legal team (earlier). Judge Biggers’ order, linked here (in .pdf) by the Daily Journal, also clarified which ”previous bad acts” the federal prosecutors will move to admit in US v. Scruggs:

“…[Joey] Langston pleaded guilty to another charge of judicial bribery and agreed to testify in the present case against defendant Richard Scruggs about Langston’s knowledge of alleged prior similar bad acts by Scruggs as provided for by Rule 404(b) of the Federal Rules of Evidence.”
