I must rise in defence of Inspector Javert. He was an honest zealot following the letter of the law to the finest detail. It was not his fault that the law under consideration was absurd. Jean Valjean was guilty under the law. He was given the justice he deserved, but not the mercy he equally deserved. And in the end Javert gave him mercy and was redeemed.

This prosecuter is a zealot, but not the Javert type. He must know Rush is guilty of nothing more than being unlucky enough to develop a painful condition and become addicted to its treatment. He knows there was no crime under the law, yet he unjustly persecutes Rush for solely partisan purposes. Similar cases involving elected Democrats have been ignored by the FL legal system. When the courts eventually put an end to Rush's suffering this prosecuter will voice no mercy, but will continue to allege Rush's guilt of crimes unknown and unprovable. He will not be redeemed.

Originally Rush did commit a crime, he bought street drugs from his housekeeper. The story broke (from the housekeeper/drug DEALER). Rush went into treatment which was a good outcome.

The prosecutor made a deal with a drug dealer to go after a user because he was high profile and was from the other political party. He lost the real drug case because the housekeeper/DRUG DEALER and her conman husband used the prosecutor to make money off the story. The prosecutor then shopped the story of money laundering (never charged of course). Rush conspired with his bank to withdraw taxed and openly earned money. Didn't fly.

The prosecutor is on his last incredible charge, doctor shopping. Four doctors, two ear specialists, two regular physicians IN THE SAME PRACTICE, all communicated with each other and does not constitute doctor shopping.

Of course the prosecutor did release Rush's pharmacy records. Now I know his anti depressent medication and who prescibed it. I'm sure that was not an accident.

And Rush has NEVER been charged. Next time this prosecutor's wants more money (and they all do) ask which felonies did they not prosecute, and did a plea bargain for lack of funds. It would be an eye opener.

Well, I agree with that. But even if Rush had violated the law in some way, this prosecutor's actions rival those of Inspector Javert. He's making a mountain out of a mole hill. Two years after he started his investigation, he still has absolutely no evidence that Rush did anything wrong, yet he wants to pry further.
