FLASHBACK: PROSECUTORS CLAIMED 'EVIDENCE THAT LIMBAUGH COMMITTED AT LEAST 10 FELONIES'
Sun Apr 30 2006 17:15:30 ET

Palm Beach County prosecutors rejected an overture in 2004 from Rush Limbaugh's attorneys that would have allowed the nation's top talkshow host to enter drug rehabilitation rather than face criminal charges for prescription drug abuse.

Prosecutors claimed they had evidence that Limbaugh committed at least 10 felonies by illegally obtaining overlapping drug prescriptions, according to documents released to the South Florida SUN-SENTINEL at the time.

Prosecutors offered to end the investigation if Limbaugh pleaded guilty to a single felony for "doctor shopping" and agreed to a three-year term of probation.

[Limbaugh today will plead 'not guilty' and will receive 18 month probation.]

It now appears James Martz, the prosecutor who headed the investigation into Limbaugh's prescription drug use, was bluffing when he said that medical records "indicate evidence that would support in excess of 10 felony counts for violations."
