Once Again: Sizzle, No Steak

Although he tantalizes with hints of untold tales of corruption, the Commercial Appeal's Marc Perrusquia fails to deliver. What he does give is an excellent primer on the Juvenile Court Clerk's office scandal of a couple of years ago, and how it feeds into the Tennessee Waltz scandal.

Once again, Tim Willis is the connection. Perrrusquia also hints around that more indictments are coming down. The West Tennessee District Attorney's office is awfully slow-moving on this; the whole investigation was kicked off in 2002 and only resulted in indictments three years later. Heaven know how much longer new indictments developed from Catron, Willis, etc., will take.
