I would imagine his lawyer has told him not to comment on anything regardless of his guilt or innocence.

Ding Ding Ding!!!

But in the past, Rush has often commented on celebrities and politicians accused of illegality or misconduct and wondered aloud why they do not come out with both barrels blazing and trumpeting their innocence from the roof tops if they are being wrongfully accused.

So why didn't he say he was acting on his lawyer's advice? Why the tapdancing?

I agree ladtx. I would bet that Rushs Lawyers have said not to speak about any of this.

Of course... even if he is innocent, he MUST not say anything, legally, until he knows first IF there will be any charges, and then WHAT the charges are.

There is a neat little trick in the law where evidence admitted to prove one thing can then be used to prove something else -- even if, originally, the evidence would not be allowed for that purpose. Does that make any sense to you? Even if he is innocent, he must not say anything, because his words can be taken and then used (twisted) to prove an unrelated point.

To avoid a legal mess, he must not say anything relevent to the case -- if there is in fact a case -- until he knows exactly what it is "he is dealing with".

** ** **** *****

That is EXACTLY right. I would tell and have told clients to make no comments WHATSOEVER. No matter what the case, words can and will be twisted.

It does not take much to make a winnable case a looser by trying it in the media.

I hope Roy Black demands all phone records of the filing prosecutor's office.

Anyone have the text of the FL son of sam law?
