Minister: Scrushy paid to build black support
I mean, if the White House paid people to write and say good things about them in the media, and the Pentagon paid people to write good things about them in Iraqi papers, why can't Richard Scrushy? So that's apparently what he did. A minister says that the Scrush promised to pay him $5000 a month for "public relations work" including having an associate write favorable articles about him in the Birmingham Times, the local black newspaper.
What's more, the minister claims that Scrushy backed out of paying him after the fraud trial! I have to admit, that would be pretty low. Scrushy claims that the man is a "shyster" and is lying, and that all his payments to the church were legitimate "donations".

Say it ain't so, Scrush.
Payback's a you-know-what, sir.
Whenever the Scrushy Family Circus comes out of court next, I expect to see not only the smiling wife and all 28 kids, but also some of them in wheelchairs, with leg braces on, etc. And they'll be carrying puppies and kittens.
