Inside sources at the Suffolk Circuit Court have verified this information, but have chosen to remain anonymous. The sources stated that they are sickened by this type of "good old boy" cover up and that thus litigation is draining Mary Margaret Jones trust with such high legal fees going directly to E. Grier Ferguson and his attorneys and that this type of illegal behavior and abuse must be stopped!

Finally... good ol Suffolk boys being exposed for the cheats and liars they are. I was one of their victims years ago in a well publicized case of politically connected good ol boys beating up on
ReplyDeletea politically unconnected average citizen.
I suppose sometimes the old adage "What goes around...comes around...really does hold true.
I totally agree about the "good ole boy" attitude in the 5th judicial. I too was a victim of it with no help from the Bar. I have no faith in a Court who condones this type of behavior. They also condone a now sitting Judge and former prosecutor of living separate and apart from his spouse who dates other men openly including at least one local attorney who practices before the Court. How is this different from the Bushey case where Bushey a Commonwealth Attorney was charged with adultery?
