A grand jury charged Atlanta lawyer John J. Sowa with 27 counts of mail fraud and four counts of money-laundering. Sowa is accused of keeping more than $130,000 in personal injury settlement funds he said he would forward to his clients' chiropractor, F. Scott Culberson. Sowa joins another Atlanta lawyer as defendants accused by Culberson of crimes stemming from their use of so-called "runners" to refer alleged accident victims to Culberson's chiropractic office and the lawyers' personal injury practices.
