There was just a story covering Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami on how the courts are in a budge crisis since they are now being funded by the state and not the counties.

There is no liability for the period between the order opening and then sealing. However, If the prosecutors now have copies in hand and are using those copies it may be exposed to a fruit of the posonous tree argument. I believe the prosecuot would have copied everything they could get their hands on.

Another theory is that they had ALREADY looked at the records BEFORE the order. By saying they looked at them in the "window" they have now inoculated prior the breaching of the seal.

It would be reasonable for Rush to ask for an accounting of the records during the window.

The liability is also present in the gag and no disemination order the judge issued at the same time as the unsealing of the records. There is no "window" for 3rd party distribution.

"There is no "window" for 3rd party distribution."

...except for Mr. Black - with his clients permission he can send parts in an unmarked plain brown wrapper to the Enquirer....or post them on FR !
