Monday was the deadline for a plea bargain and just under the wire, Dickie Scruggs took a deal - as was widely expected. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy as did his law partner. It's unknown at this time if his other law partner his son Zach will also take a deal or go to trial.
The expected sentence for Scruggs is about five years vs. the max of 75 years he faced had he went to trial and lost.
