Special prosecutors charged prominent attorney Richard F. Scruggs and his firm with criminal contempt Tuesday in a Hurricane Katrina insurance dispute. Judge William Acker ruled in June that Scruggs "willfully violated" a preliminary injunction that required him to deliver "all documents" about State Farm Insurance that two whistleblowers copied after Katrina. Instead, Acker said Scruggs sent the documents to the Mississippi AG's office to ensure "noncompliance with or avoidance" of the injunction.
