of lawyer Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, to report to federal prison
on Aug. 15 to serve a two-year sentence.
The younger Scruggs had hoped that U.S. District Judge Neal
Biggers Jr. would delay his reporting date so he could be home for
the birth of he and his wife's third child.
On Thursday, Biggers ordered Zach Scruggs to report on Aug. 15.
Zach Scruggs, who was sentenced Wednesday, pleaded guilty to
failing to report a crime. Dickie Scruggs and law partner Sidney
Backstrom pleaded guilty to attempting to bribe a state judge
involving a lawsuit over attorneys fees.
Dickie Scruggs was sentenced last week to five years in prison.
Backstrom was sentenced to 28 months.
