Provided he stays in the treatment plan he voluntarily entered 2 1/2 years ago. Drudge

“Mr. Limbaugh had intended to remain in treatment. Thus, we believe the outcome for him personally will be much as if he had fought the charge and won.” The actions taken today are as follows: The State Attorney has filed a single charge of doctor shopping with the Court. The charge is being held in abeyance under the terms of an agreement between the State and Mr. Limbaugh. Mr. Limbaugh has filed a plea of “Not Guilty” with the Court. The formal agreement between Mr. Limbaugh and the State Attorney will be filed with the Court on Monday. The terms of the agreement are substantively as follows: Ø Mr. Limbaugh will continue in treatment with the doctor he has seen for the past two and one half years. Ø After Mr. Limbaugh completes an additional 18 months of treatment, the State Attorney has agreed to drop the charge. Ø Mr. Limbaugh has agreed to make a $30,000 payment to the State of Florida to defray the public cost of the investigation.

Rush Limbaugh's plea will not be challenge by the Prosecuter. Rush will have to reimburse the public for part of the cost of the investigation. $30,000 to Rush is like a $100 fine to a person making minimum wage. I'm sure that both the state and Rush Limbaugh have both already expended many times that amount of money. Meanwhile the prosecution gave immunity to the felons who originally brought this charge against Rush. They only went to the prosecution after Rush refused their blackmail. I'm sure the penalty for blackmail is stiffer than this.
