The letters bolster the absense of any plea deal. The prosecutor was obvious in not making a legitimate offer. Perhaps you have a different view of negotiations however there was no meeting of the minds here.

Roy said there was no deal. Clear enough.

As for the no negotiations, from these letters there is nothing being negotiated. This is only posturing by the SA. The SA office should be reported to the Bar.

"The letters bolster the absense of any plea deal. The prosecutor was obvious in not making a legitimate offer."

Well duh - if there was a deal we would know -

The letters prove that there WAS dealings, albeit unsuccessful.

... and just how much of a lighter deal could the prosecutor have offered ?
What would your suggestion have been that Rush should have taken ?
