When will Ward cave?
Well, the inevitable keeps happening to defendants in Operation Tennessee Waltz, as one by one they fold their hands and hope for the best deal they can get. The word is stronger than ever that Sen. Kathryn Bowers will plead guilty.
That leaves the question hanging like so much ripe E-Cycle cash: what will be Sen. Ward Crutchfield's exit from public life? Will he, like former County Commissioner Cotton, stubbornly refuse to accept that the jig has been up, and "full steam ahead" to a jury conviction? Or will he, too, tire of the charade, and settle for some rather mild sentence? I think they'd go easy on him, given his age and relatively infirm condition.
What is going down next? This state needs to heal, but the festering rot must first be removed.
