Dude flipped. Scott Hall is the first person to plead guilty in the 19 defendant case.

    This guy's name shows up all over the GA indictment, including lots of calls and emails to a bunch of people. This guy knows stuff. Interesting that they think he's a reliable witness. If I was one of the other co-defendents, my nervousness level would be going from 99.9 to 99.9999.

      Yup. He's probably got a deal, completely reliant on being a good witness first, then he'll get a drastically reduced sentence. Either that or he feels safer in prison. I'd say 50/50 odds.

    The South came out of me when I read this; I involuntarily emitted the special version of "oh shit", where the first vowel is halfway between "oh" and "aw", elongated, and rising in pitch.

    I turned into Gomer Pyle for a second is what I'm saying.

      Just recently started rewatching the G Pyle USMC show… gotta admit that the man's leagues ahead of his time, even if he's the butt of any "but from Mayberry" jokes.
