Renfroe v. Rigsby update, May 14

By David Rossmiller

Time continues to be extraordinarily limited.  Thanks to readers for pointing out the article in the New Yorker on Dickie Scruggs.  I was called by one of the fact checkers for the magazine about the story, although I didn't have time to return the call before the story closed.  Although I am a subscriber of the magazine, I haven't had time to read the story, and there was no way to link to it yet on their website.  I'll comment in a few days, when I return from traveling to Florida to give a speech to the Mississippi Bankers Association. 

All I have time for today is this link to a recent Anita Lee story in the Sun Herald (thanks to Ted Frank of Overlawyered and Point of Law for the heads up) about the Renfroe v. Rigsby case.  Not much time to comment, but the story is pretty self-explanatory.  Also, there will be no post for tomorrow, I decided it is too much of a hassle to travel with a laptop through security.  I had my fill of security hassles when I returned from Mississippi last month -- got to the airport too late to check my bag and had to carry it through security, setting off numerous puzzled looks over the cheese, sweet potato and other paraphernalia I was presented with at Starkville.  Said one TSA employee after opening my bag: "I could have guessed the rest from the X-ray, but I never would have guessed the sweet potato." I said, "Blame it on Dickie Scruggs."  Now that I am laptop free, I will consider whether the next step is feasible: traveling without shoes.  Although I wouldn't have to take them off, it might invite a different form of scrutiny. 

While I'm gone, comments will be published by Marjory Morford.  She's sharp, so don't try to sneak anything by her.
