Ten felony charges. Geez.
“The public is better served by treating addicts as patients rather than criminals.”
I guess Mr. Black doesn't subscrible to Rush's political views. Amazing Rush would go along with it.....

“This proposed resolution is offered as an alternative to unsealing your client’s medical records and in an effort to bring this case to a swift and just resolution,” Martz wrote.
It's disturbing that the prosecutor is using the release of private medical records as a bargaining chip and that he chooses to share communications between the two sides with the public.
Further, "supporting 10 felony counts" is far from gaining convictions on them. Seems to just be more evidence that this case is being brought for reasons other than the public good. Is Rush really a threat to the public for doctor shopping? Probation, random drug checks, and treatment would probably be more than acceptable for another less prominent person with no other criminal record facing the same charges.
