I'm sorry, but you really don't know what you are talking about. It IS treated the same, Florida's court system encourages treatment and this sort of crime is no different in that respect. Further, defendants often enter a plea to a lesser charge so they don't have a felony record OR they can often get adjudication withheld if they complete the terms of their probation and drug treatment.

And Ms. Bush's plea was? Why was she able to get such a quick hearing? I suppose that's SOP also?

You claim to be an "expert" on Florida drug laws. How many jailed prisoners have you interviewed? Or is your "expertise" self taught and you've never even seen the inside of a cell?

Although Noelle has escaped prosecution and is reportedly on the mend in a drug rehab program, the arrest led to a spate of other stories indicating that the governor's daughter received special treatment. Despite a horrendous driving record and several car crashes, including one with Tallahassee resident Sandra Morrow in which Ms. Bush told police she was taking a prescription drug, Noelle wasn't subjected to a drug or alcohol test when she pulled up at Walgreens to fetch her fraudulent prescription for Xanax.

More proof that the rich and powerful are different when it comes to the law occurred when several weeks ago the National Enquirer broke a story that Noelle had previously tried the same scam. The Enquirer had the smoking gun as well in the form of stolen prescription forms filled out and signed by Noelle. Those fraudulent prescriptions were for the painkiller OxyContin and Xanax.

Despite the smoking gun provided by the Enquirer and no denials from the Bush camp, the national and state media ignored the fact that Noelle Bush was a multiple offender.

Bush, Burton & all the rest kids get breaks-period.
