proves it more than you know.

This story is YET ANOTHER leak.

The fact that they want a USER case to get a felony rather than treatment (treatment is the long stated policy of the Palm Beach Prosecutor Office) tells that this is only political. A treatment would not result on a notch on their belt.

Settlement negotiations are inadmissible in trial. Its a clever manuver. They SA gets to imply rush is trying to cut a deal and gets to put out they are still trying to get a straight criminal case.

The FL bar should get involved in this. Anyone can file a bar complaint. The FL bar investigates. They would get a jurisdiction outside Palm Beach to investigate.

Are you sure that the policy isn't treatment rather than incarceration for users? I don't know what the policy is there but just because prosecutors may claim to favor treatment over incarceration does not mean that they are in favor of not giving people felonies for low level drug crimes. People get felony records for minor drug offenses all the time in this country. Lucky for Rush that he's in a line of work where they won't care about his felony record.
