What???? He has to pay $30,000 for the witch-hunt THEY conducted against him??? UNREAL!
He copped a plea.
Why?
That's nothing to him. Besides, how much would Roy Black cost if Rush kept fighting the charge!
Yeah, paying $30,000 for them to basically shove it up their own $sses is a bargain considering what it costs to keep Roy Black on retainer.
The State Attorney needed some cover for his screw up.
If he can stay clean, then that's money well spent.
Were it not for the witch hunt, he'd probably be be dead. Heavens, he's lucky that the only things his addiction cost him were his hearing and his wife.
The overbearing coercive use of force and certain promise of punishment is the only way to get a junkie's attention.
And, after all, we all care for Rush and wish him the best.
This might be the best.
Chump change for Rush. :)
Basically, RUSH WON.
That's what I was thinking .. for my money .. the prosecutors ought to pay through the nose for the SMEAR JOB - and there is a law against defamation of character.
Personally, I would pay every cent of the "fine" and that idiotic supervision fee in loose pennys.
Then file suit against the entire staff of that county DA and the MSM for slander and malicious prosecution.
I can't imagine that he cares. $30K to him is like ten bucks to me.
My reaction exactly.
