Judge Scruggs was a friend to everyone, I worked for Del McLaughlin, the Circuit Court Commissioner in the Hillsborough County Courthohse Courthouse many msny years, saw many Judges come and go, Judge Scruggs stood out from all the rest. He loved his job, he really cared about people and he was a true Christian man. He was loved by all. My brother went to school with Charles, they were friends. May he forever rest in peace.

My first real interaction with Charles was back in the mid 1990s when he represented an armed robbery/kidnapper defendant. He was an excellent trial lawyer and very polite; a real joy to have as opposing counsel. The defendant had multiple cases and went to trial with three of them. During one of the trials he got a call that his daughter was in a tragic accident. We took a break and I went back to my office to do jury instructions. I knew Charles was going to need the Alibi instructions...
