How many cases (overall and per year) and what is the usual result in conviction ratios and sentencing of those convicted? I've been kinda thinkin' that the whole thing would have been handled differently if it wasn't about Rush (and I'm not particularly interested in Rush one way or the other).
I also think Rush is being treated unfairly -- when compared to other celebrities. However, it appears when compared to ordinary folks with addiction problems, he's been treated better, probably b/c he has a bully pulpit and money for an expensive lawyer.
I would just like to see people here outraged on Rush's behalf AND on behalf of ordinary people with drug problems who have been arrested. If one believes Rush shouldn't be investigated or arrested, one should also support amnesty for the anonymous souls who have already been arrested for the same thing.
