JACKSON, Miss. --

An insurance company's attorney suggested during a sworn deposition that former U.S. Sen. Trent Lott urged witnesses to give false information in a Hurricane Katrina lawsuit, according to court records.The implication was made last week during a deposition with Lott's nephew, Zach Scruggs, who represented the former Mississippi Republican senator after his Pascagoula home was destroyed by the 2005 storm. Zach Scruggs is the son and law partner of disgraced former attorney Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, Lott's brother-in-law.

When I read the words "insurance company's attorney suggested" I saw stars! That's no basis for accusing or suspecting anybody; in fact, it makes me start thinking the opposite. When they don't have facts, they use suggestion and innuendo.
I say this because I was once a plaintiff in a lawsuit. An insurance company's attorney stood in my own living room and basically accused me and my husband of lying, exaggerating our loss, and being out for money. Standing in the middle of the god-awful mess his client's negligence created, and that we had to live in for FIVE YEARS, he did his best to put us in the wrong and impugn our motives and our character. I have never got over it.

You should have split his wig down to the white meat Hermione.
It would take a brave soul to stand in my own house and call me a liar.
