The Fall of the House of Zeus by Curtis Wilkie (Crown, October 19, 2010)
“Although the government’s pursuit of Scruggs smacked of entrapment to his supporters, that defense could not be used because he had not dealt directly with a federal agent or an informant when he covered Balducci’s original payments with a $40,000 check. Instead, the defendants from the Scruggs Law Firm settled on a defense built around the argument that the government had created the crime for which they were being falsely accused.”
“In a lengthy motion filed with the court on February 11, Keker asked for dismissal of the indictments on the grounds of ‘outrageous government conduct.’ The document not only accused the federal government of turning Judge Lackey into an agent involved in ‘manufacturing a crime,’ it charged that the government had ‘engaged in a pattern of concealing from this court’ exculpatory evidence helpful to the defendants.” (283)
