Scruggs still in the limelight: The kink below is about a lawsuit that Scruggs filed Thursday (in the same court he just got sentenced in) against a DC law firm, which was one to the ones that were defending the Rigsby sisters in the Renfroe v the Rigsby sisters suit over the stolen SF documents.  As mentioned previously, Scruggs told the sisters (verbally and not in writing) that he would indemnify them for any damages and legal fees they may incur as a result of anything coming out of them stealing the SF documents.  Well they had this DC firm and also a local AL firm handling their defense, and the DC firm withdrew from the defense back in March I think, stating that the Sisters "and others" have stopped paying their legal bills.  Turns out that this firms legal bill alone is to the tune of $1,700,000 and rising.  Scruggs is now claiming that he isn't responsible for it, the Scruggs Katrina Group is, and also that the legal bill is unreasonable.  I would venture to guess that the Sisters are the ones that signed on the dotted line for representation on this matter, and are going to be the primary ones responsible.  I don't think I would sleep well at night with that kind of legal bill hanging over my head, and that is for only one of their two defense firms.
