Andringa says there was no evidence that Paey was selling his drugs, "but it is a reasonable inference from the facts that he was selling them, because no person can consume all these pills."

Was the trafficking charge due to selling? Seems debatable.

Was the trafficking charge due to selling? Seems debatable.

According to the article in National Review:

State prosecutors concede there's no evidence Paey ever sold or gave his medication away. Nevertheless, under draconian drug-war statutes, these prosecutors could pursue distribution charges against him based solely on the amount of medication he possessed (the unauthorized possession of as few as 60 tablets of some pain medications can qualify a person as a "drug trafficker").

I'm no lawyer, but if Paey was convicted on the reasonable inference that he sold the meds without any corroborating evidence, I think that GOV Bush should jump at the chance to pardon. And another shame on Florida.
