Scruggs Nation, February 26: the update

By David Rossmiller

Judge Biggers' orders are out on the defense motions in USA v. Scruggs (Northern Mississippi edition) -- all denied.  We can talk more about these later, but here they are:

Order denying motion to suppress wiretap evidence.

Order denying motion to exclude extrinsic evidence of prior related acts.

Order denying motion to sever Zack Scruggs and Sid Backstrom trials from trial of Dickie Scruggs.

Order denying motion to dismiss indictment, motion to dismiss counts 2, 3, and 4, motion for change of venue. (This last bunch had already been denied in rulings from the bench last week, this document merely memorializes those decisions).
