"For firts timers, drug court is an automatic offer if they want it. "

Almost, but not quite true - the DA must sign off on it.

Here's the contract that alleged perps must agree to -

but you are correct, it appears that unless he is charged with a crime he cannot enter a diversion program.

So all of these " he is not being treated the same " people can just wait until ( or if ) he is charged.

As a practical matter perhaps. But the CLERKS office is under instruction to send all first time cases to drug court.

No prosecutor's office can functionally reject a person into drug court who is otherwise eligible without loosing a claim of selective enforcent.

Hello again.

We have covered this before. And we will again.

Rush is a first timer and has a right to drug court as an end user, same as anyone else.

So all of these " he is not being treated the same " people can just wait until ( or if ) he is charged.

Now you are just being silly. He is absolutly being treated differently.
ZERO other end user cases have gotten this level of resources, attention, or personel devoted.
NO other case has had THE state attorney call the FL Bar Ethics hotline and then LIE about
what was said from that eithics opinion.
No ther state attorney has been PUBLICLY rebuked by the Attorney Generals office for
explicitly misrepresenting communications regarding state law.

No other state attorney has jeopardized negotiations considered confidential communications.
Never before has some sleazy backroom immunity deal been agreed to facilitate the public
sale of a PR story of a defendant to gain advantage in a DESIRED investigation.
(t helps to have a clinton lawyer helping your negotiations.)

Last no other user case has EVER dragged on this long.
In the governor's daughter has her unceremonious disgrace done in the time of this so-called investion.

Legally, there is NO WAY IN HELL this case has been treated the "same as" any other user case. If there was a case, the same as result would have been a drug court participation OVER A YEAR AGO.
