$250,000 Fine and Prison for Corrupt Lawyer
It's long been known that Mississippi was a plaintiffs' haven - a state where plaintiffs in personal injury cases scored among the biggest verdicts in the nation. Now, one reason has been revealed:
corrupt lawyers and judges.
Among the best following the scandal and reporting on its developments has been Walter Olson at Overlawyered.
The latest among the mighty to fall is attorney Joey Langston - sentenced to three years in prison and fined $250,000 for his role in bribing a Mississippi judge.
