Gloria Allred has no standing in this case. It would be up to the “victim” to contact the prosecutor and file the necessary police report, then the prosecutor may, at his discretion determine if a crime has been committed.
No publicly elected prosecutor is going to file charges against Limbaugh and then have to explain to an electorate why resources are being used to prosecute a misdemeanor of this type. Besides....could you imagine the number of women who would gather in the prosecutor’s office on a Monday morning after their boyfriend’s ‘dissed them on a Saturday night?
This is nothing more than another “look at me” moment for Allred.
I would submit that unless Fluke is her client, she should shut her yap. It may very well be that Sandra DOES have counsel and Gloria may have to answer to the bar about her interference with Sandra’s true counsel.
This is much ado about nothing.
Yes, this is not a civil trial, she is asking for a criminal complaint. So, the presecutor would bear the burden of proof to show a crime had been committed. Merely pointing out Rush said such and such is not enough. The prosecutor would have to show the statement was false, that rush knew it was false when he said it and on top of that would have to overcome the burden of showing that it was meant to harm a non public person. Rush has almost immunity given Fuke is a public person by allowing herself to be used in a publicity stunt by the dems in Congress. To get this past any hearing in the pretrial phase would be harder than picking the superfecta.
On the other hand, don’t dismiss what a prosecutor in liberal palm beach may actually do i.e. file a charge after all, we know any prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich if they choose to do so.
