Civil Case Pause Request in Mississippi | Jackson News

A Mississippi defendant, Leigh Bridges, is asking a federal judge to pause her civil lawsuit over the Jackson Area Federal Credit Union—arguing that fighting both a civil case and an impending criminal charge creates a constitutional nightmare. Her legal team claims she’s trapped in a Catch-22: testify and risk her criminal defense, stay silent and weaken her civil case. The suit, filed by the National Credit Union Administration Board, also names her husband Chad Bridges and Tina Funez. With no indictment yet but looming charges, the judge’s decision could reshape how these intertwined cases unfold—and set a precedent for future defendants caught in similar crossfires.
