Sorry, but there's no admission of guilt here; as I see it, this is a case of an individual attempting to save himself a huge (Hugh??) pile of cash. Were I in a similar position (under attack for something that I wasn't guiltly of, but with enough circumstantial evidence for an overzealous prosecutor to take to a grand jury), I would look for the cheapest and easiest way out.

In other words, since Rush is purportedly off the meds and under rehabilitative therapy, his best and cheapest course of action is to make a deal - I'll stay off the meds and you leave me alone. Since the procesecutor doesn't want to agree to this, then off to trial we go - at $600 and hour for Roy Black. I'd think that saving the money is better than a phyrric victory that costs millions to prove innocence.

Take rush out of this and make it an ordianry 100% innocent citizen with ordinary income and has been arrested for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. If they are offered an opportunity where they can sit in drug rehab class and the case is dropped. No need for discover, no criminal record, just drop a urine on occasion. It is a guarantee that does not appear very often in the court system.

If you fight the case it will cost at least 15 thousand. So what does a mother, father, or just a working person do?
(actually that is retorical, of course they take the drug court intervention in order to get the guarantee case dropped.)

Why do you support this assesment?

If Rushbo fans are so in support of him and are harping proclaiming his innocence then why are said such fans supporting a plea bargain.

Remeber Rush said he did not doctor shop. So if the prosecutor is attempting to bring charges to such a crime why is Rush not defending himself to the utter end. This has nothing to do with money. rush makes millions a year. I suspect he doesn't want people to hear the evidence to save face and to save himself from being proven a hypocrit. To me him plea bargaining shows that this man is doing anything he can to supress possible evidence. this would in effect lower him from his all high moral authority perch he has placed himself upon.

Money vs. someone word

Sorry but this doesn't cut the cheese. If you have nothing to hide and you are a man to your word then money is no object.

People call M.J.'s buyout of a child a hush hush situation and bag him.

Why is there a double standard here?
