"...They said they sold him 11,900 tablets over six months in 2001..."

Let's see, that is 1983 tablets a month...or,

496 tablets a week...or,

70 tablets a day.

Are they stating that Rush took 70 tablets a day?
Are they saying that he took the tablets and resold them...?
How did the housekeeper obtain such a large quantity of tablets?

These are REALLY BASIC Questions.

There is obviously something wrong with the math. However, if Rush had never taken pills from her, he would have said so. He said he would wait for the facts to come in, in other words he will wait to see if he is ever going to be charged and what the evidence is.

The normal penalty is virtually nothing for users of prescription drugs...

So what is the brand of that cigar box? That should be another clue.

How about a little math??? How much do these pills cost each on the street? That is one part of the equation that is missing. If he owed her 80,000 dollars at one point, how was she paying her supplier? Wouldn't her supplier get a bit uptight with that much cash out? How many pills does 80K break down to on the black market?

Are you seriously asking me? I don't have any idea. The last drug I bought was Robitussin.

LOL! Just rhetorical.

Robitussin rocks! Got any extra???

Ok, I found a street price for Oxycontin for 1.00 a milligram. If he was taking 10 mg tabs, at 10.00 a piece, that would be....8,000 pills for 80K.

It's not much, but it's a start.

Hm. Some people can afford that.

Start buying 8,000 of them and the price goes way down.

I just found out some more about Oxy. The pills go in size from 10mg to 80mg. The price slides accordingly. So, if there is a problem, generally the addicted person starts out with 10s and moves up progressively to an 80.

We still don't have enough information to figure this one out.

Personally, I think there is some truth to this, but nothing like the Clines are portraying.

normal FL penalty for first time offenders is going to Drug Court. Drug Court is a one year program which, upon successful completion, results in the case being dismissed and no criminal record.

The have to prove a larger quantity to put him in regular court.

Tell it to Kim Jong il.

Better yet, tell it to Jiang Zemin. Kim's their boy afterall. Send it via Jimmy Carter.
