---The moral of the story seems to be - Watch what you wish for... you might get it !---

Don't be ridiculous they of course did not ask for documents they themselves sent (which are specifically marked maintain confidentiality) and documents they already have (the plea offers) to be sent to newspapers. (which are not supposed to be made public)

White wash it all you want. Its a clear violation of ethics on the SA's part.

Rush and Black didn't ask for anything to be released - Landmark Legal did it all on their own -

... and threatened legal action 2 days later

Marking it "Confidential" means nothing to the Florida Sunshine Laws.

Citing laws against using it as evidence means nothing also...

Florida law REQUIRED their release to anyone who asked.

You're a very bright person, and RS is al over this thread, and others, dissembling and confusing people. The prosecutor released information specifically exempt from release under Florida law. He said the Florida bar approved the release, and he lied. The Florida bar released information today, including to Landmark, showing that it did no such thing. The prosecutor has likely committed a very serious breach of ethics -- especially by intentionally mistating what the Florida bar said. RS is clueless and he's been slamming Landmark and Rush constantly.
