Trailer Lawyer Todd Graves Tossed from Mississippi State Farm Case

Federal Judge S.L. Senter has issued a ruling barring Todd Graves and his firm from further participation in a high profile case in Mississippi:

GULFPORT, Miss. — A federal judge on Monday disqualified a group of Missouri lawyers, including a former high-ranking prosecutor, from working on a case against State Farm Insurance Cos. over its handling of policyholder claims after Hurricane Katrina....

Todd Graves, who joined the latter firm after serving as a U.S. Attorney in Missouri, is one of the disqualified lawyers. Graves said he couldn’t comment on the ruling because he hadn’t read it yet.

Senter faulted the lawyers for failing to act after they learned of alleged ethical misconduct by another attorney in the case, Richard “Dickie” Scruggs.

I wonder what, if anything, this means to all the folks who held Graves up as the model of integrity and righteousness during the U.S. Attorney scandal?  Probably nothing, as it's likely just a few moments before they get spun by the man once again.
