yes...a misdemeanor.

Doctor shopping is a third degree felony. As I said.. The PBC SA didn't write the law and nobody held Rush down and shoved pills down his throat and nobody forced Rush to Doctor shop or procure his housekeeper to perform drug transactions for him.

Those are the facts. Now if you want to get into some arcane discussion of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin..fine.

If you have evidence of doctor shopping, let's see it. Better yet, let's see it in the form of a bill of particulars, better known as an indictment. And, what of the money laundering and drug ring? You cherry pick information leaked by the prosecutor, and yet you have nothing.

I have three problems with this whole thing you're doing tcuoohjohn.

1) You're repeatedly claiming that he was doctor shopping. Yet, you and the press gleefully ignore the fact that the 4 doctors in question were ALL FROM THE SAME CLINIC. If I go to a clinic with 4 doctors, and see one on Tuesday, another on Wednesday, another on Thursday and the fourt on Friday, and they all have my chart, yet still prescribe the same medicine each, then did I break the law? What if the first told me to come back the next day and so on? Did I break the law by following my doctor's orders?

2) You seem to have this zeal to protect the SA office and bash Rush. The SA's office has repeatedly abused their power. Whether Rush is guilty or not is now irrelevant. They've repeatedly abused their power. As such, they've shown repeatedly that this is purly a fishing expidition. Eventually they're going to convict Rush on a misdemenor charge of not recycling a plastic bottle on the first Thursday of November 2002.

3) The SA's office broke the law and should have the prosecutors face criminal charges by falsifying justification for violating Rush's rights. There was no law that allowed them to releash Rush's attorney's private memos with them. None. That violate's Rush's attorney-client privilege, as it is private documents. So, they needed to justify it once they got caught with their pants down around their ankles. So, they got some Florida Bar letterhead and just fabricated an excuse. They've done loopy things, and you just keep ignoring the abuse and cheering anything they do to persecute Rush. Not PROSECUTE, but PERSECUTE.
