On a first offence in Florida it is rare to include jail time. I have been going thru a few records this morning and 18 months is a little longer than most sentences.

First offense of impersonating a doctor and frausdulently attempting to get prescription drugs is a non jail offense?

Ok, so explain to me how buying street drugs is worse than that? Noelle Bush hasn't admitted guilt btw. If you read the whole article, her lawyer hasn't even accepted the deal. Thwe prosecutor is starting off with this without cutting a deal. Prosecuters wait to study facts as a rule.

Within days, he is already giving her leeway, before she has even asked.

Noelle Bush's attorney, Peter Antonacci, has yet to agree to drug court, Meggs said. Antonacci did not return repeated phone calls this week. Meggs said his office won't investigate whether Noelle Bush violated the terms of her release from jail Tuesday. "That's something the media is interested in, but we're not," Meggs said. A pretrial release program found that she had no criminal history before allowing her to leave without paying a $1,000 bond. But reports of a 1995 Arizona misdemeanor shoplifting offense involving a woman with the same name and birthdate surfaced this week. A student who attended a Sedona, Ariz., boarding school with Noelle Bush said she was the woman involved.

The case concerned the theft of underwear from a JCPenney store and was resolved with the payment of a $305 fine.

Also, there were reports of Noelle Bush's spotty driving record. She has been involved in four crashes in Leon County between 1999 and 2001 and has been ticketed more than a dozen times since 1995, records show.

According to published reports, she became belligerent after a September 2000 traffic crash that she caused by colliding with a truck.

She later told police that she was on prescription pills, the report stated.

State Attorney Meggs' stance on Noelle Bush's past is at odds with what the supervisor of the pretrial program said earlier this week.

Wanda Hunter, the supervisor, said that inmates are questioned about their criminal pasts and that a national, state, and local crime records search is conducted before release is considered.

She is getting special treatment. She should be arrested for lying about prior convictions, and have to post the larger bond to bew released. But, she is not one of us.

I would doubt if that applies to juvenile records. Did you check? Or are you just speculating aloud? If so, fine, just make it clear.
