I've heard that Dickie Scruggs was John Grisham's model for his book KING OF TORTS. Anybody know if that's true? Scruggs, I believe, was one of the lead plaintiff attorneys in the huge tobacco cases and made MEGA-MEGA BUCKS.
<> And surprise surprise Dickie and Trentie are related by marriage. Probably only John could say for sure to your question. Also Dickie was extremely rich prior to the tobacco lawsuit due to asbestos class action suits. Dickie is nothing but idolized trash and Trent continues to disappoint. Oh and I beleive Dickie intends to have a hurricane Katrina related class action suit.
