Regarding yesterday's news of the disqualification from Katrina cases of the Katrina Litigation Group, the entity derived from the former Scruggs Katrina Group and containing three of the original five firms, what will happen now? [read post]

  (One can no longer say "Scruggs filed," as he and his firm have withdrawn from McIntosh and other SKG Katrina cases). [read post]

  Think about this for a moment -- Himself wanted to set himself up as some kind of autocrat, some Katrina Czar. [read post]

Do you remember when I wrote about the Halloween deposition in Katrina litigation of Assistant Insurance Commissioner Lee Harrell? [read post]

Now, you may remember that in the Lee Harrell deposition on October 31, Harrell testified that Scruggs threatened to support an opponent in the Democratic primary of Insurance Commissioner George Dale unless Dale supported Scruggs' proposal to set himself up as some sort of Katrina Czar over a $500 million slush fund that was to be squeezed out of State Farm.

  In favor of the Beck theory, I would note that early on in the Katrina litigation, as noted in the Lee Harrell deposition I have often referred to, Scruggs spoke of Katrina cases in the same terms as tobacco litigation -- he had "insiders" and was going to work the cases just like he and Mike Moore had worked the tobacco litigation.

  Was there some particularly humiliating condition -- he had to autograph for Ed Rust a copy of the Lee Harrell deposition, where Harrell alleged Hood threatened to indict State Farm from the CEO on down if they didn't settle civil Katrina lawsuits, and write on the transcript "Me sorry" with one of those dopey frown faces drawn next to it?

  And I will say, I see your point but I don't buy it -- it looks bad, just like it looks bad if what Lee Harrell said in his deposition is true, that Scruggs tried to strongarm George Dale into backing some play to set him up as a Katrina czar with State Farm money, and that Hood was working with Scruggs to strongarm State Farm into settling civil cases through threats of criminal investigation.

 Also, staying on this point for the moment, what of the Lee Harrell deposition, in which he testified that Scruggs claimed, in a December 2005 meeting with Harrell and Insurance Commissioner George Dale, that he had corporate insiders at State Farm and was going to work this just like he and Mike Moore worked the tobacco litigation?
