In lawyer ethics speak it meant the safest most ethical course of action was to ask the judge. period. To do otherwise risks an ethical violation.

An attorney on a review committee is not going to be so lenient.

Oh please! Those review committees are as liberal and stocked full of political people as the Florida supreme court. Its naive to think they'll be anything BUT against Rush's position in this matter.

Otherwise the point appears to be moot.
So Blacks next step should be sueing regarding the release, correct ?
