So there are no charges? Thanks for clearing this up. Must have been me, but I thought I heard the word "charged" hundreds of times on the radio and TV. If he isn't charged, I guess Rush is only a person of interest. Maybe Marta did it.

If it was me or you, we would have already experienced life in an orange jumpsuit, been perp-walked, and released from county jail, pending a court date.

It sounds as though your problem is that your education has all been from the TV. "Charged" is a technical legal term that means something. "Charged" isn't something that a reporter says, or comes from a leak. If you are "charged" with a crime, it means you go to court!

.If he isn't charged, I guess Rush is only a person of interest. Maybe Marta did it. .

You either watch too much TV or you are a troll.

More horse cr*p. If it was you or me, nothing would happen except POSSIBLY court mandated drug rehab. And even that's a stretch.

I believe that is wrong. Rush is the first case I'm aware of in the US where they're going after a former user of prescription drugs. The goal has always been to get the person treatment more than punish (for 1st time offenders at least), and I challenge you to find a case in the US where a prosecuter has gone after someone who just went through treatment. Not to mention all the privacy violations and fishing they're doing by seizing his medical records.

Well, m'friend, I don't know how you think, but -- had some ''public official'' run this game on me -- I guarantee you on my life that he, she, or it would now be the respondent in EVERY civil action I and my attorney could concoct.

And, if said ''public official'' were also an elected official, said civil actions would be deliberately timed (with of course some PR assistance) to render him (or her, or it) utterly unelectable evermore.

Suum cuique, as they used to say in the Roman Republic.

-- Do not kill a corrupt and ambitious man, but do what is worse; learn his desires and deny him all at every turn. Let him live in his futility. Nemesis herself could not punish him so well. -- Publius Scaevola, Pontifex Maximus of Rome, 77 B.C.

You, sir, are living in la-la land.

If this were you or me, the prosecutor would not be wasting any time trying to obtain medical records in the hope that they would contain evidence that might establish a crime had been committed. Even if the medical records flew out of the doctor's office and landed in the prosecutor's lap, the most you or I would get would be a quick agreement for treatment and pretrial diversion.

By the way, I hate dogs. :)

Nah, read #84. There are no charges, except in the media, and there is no crime.

[Ann Archy]

and what would the charges be if it were you?

Total horse puckey!

Oh really? LOL!

If it were me or YOU, we'd have been admitted to a treatment facility, and it would be over.

We all know the real reason they are going after Rush, now don't we?

Since there is absolutely no evidence with which to charge Rush, it seems no one, not even you would be "perp-walked" anywhere.

There are a few of you on this board who seem to just hope that Rush is destroyed. I'll bet some of you don't even listen to him. You don't know what you are missing.

That's not true. What you been reading???? NO ONE PERSON has ever been charged with a crime in this situation. Usually it's the person who sell's the stuff, not the person using the stuff. The maid and her husband usually go to jail, for being the pushers. Come on!!!! You're awfully harsh on Rush, a person that did nothing wrong but take too many PRESCRIPTION pills. If we arrest everyone who does that the jails would be overflowing with your parents my parents and everyone else's parents.
