Intro: JUDGE NEAL B. BIGGERS : All right. (Pause. ) Well, Mr. Scruggs, you'll receive a transcript of this sentencing hearing. And I 'll tell you now that, you know, there might be some things that you can do to help yourself in the future; and you can read about it. You may not remember what I ' m saying, but there' s some people who you're involved with who I have become intrigued in this situation of what' s going on.
When I see, from this case and others, that people who are not lawyers are getting considerable amounts of money from a legal settlement and - - you know, it intrigues me as to how - - what they're doing to earn it, if anything. They're not lawyers, so they're not receiving any settlements. If you come - - you know, Balducci said that you know where a lot of bodies are buried. If you want to uncover some of those bodies, it might help you in the future in this case and this sentencing.
But based on these considerations, Mr. Scruggs, and pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, it is the judgment of the Court that you be committed to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for a term of 60 months on Count 1 of this indictment. And the Court will recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that you be housed in a facility that can afford you the opportunity to participate in both mental health and drug treatment programs.
