They were all addicted to pain killers and were non-violent and non-trafficking first time offenders. They sought treatment, and in the case of Favre and Perry, that seems to be the end of the legalities, but not in Rush's case. Of course Favre and Perry didn't have a demo hack Palm Beach prosecutor to deal with.
I am aware that those facts are similar. I was specifically wondering if how the drugs were obtained are similar?
