He's admitted he's a drug addict- are you saying he isn't?

No- I am saying that clearly there was a reason they scaled back the charges. So maybe there was less to it than thought-

One wonders why he didn't just fight this all the way to the courts, then?

Couldn't possibly be that he made a fantastic plea-bargain? He also has to pay $30,000 do defray the costs of the investigation. It must be galling to have to do so when one is so very innocent.

Nice way to twist it to your satisfaction. You'll see the boogey men you want to see no matter how little information you have.

I'm just going on info that I've provided- can you back up your assertions?

The Supreme Court, reversing the federal appeals court in San Francisco, today unanimously revived the claim of 1993 "Playmate of the Year" Anna Nicole Smith for nearly $500 million of her late husband's estate.

Anna can sue for her millions now. Damn activist Supreme Court Justices.

Or you can look at it practically, being that $30K is probably less than he paid his lawyers in a month. Of course it is a great plea bargin. Nothing on his record, and 30K to him is probably like 30 cents to me. After 2.5 years, I'd just want it to be over. It is.

And that would be your spin on it, Scaeagles. I'm merely going by his past statements and his feisty character- it just seems that if this were such a travesty of justice, he'd be fighting it until he bumped into Anna Nicole at the SC. It really doesn't matter to me if he got off on these charges, as I think our drug laws are ridiculous, but I'm just amused by the responses being posted here and the fact that one day I'm branded a bleeding heart liberal, and the next I am lacking compassion.

[scaeagles]

Here - try this - You "brutal no compassion selectively bleeding heart liberal".

No, you are going off of your assumptions based on your bias filtered through some articles. You have no supporting evidence for your remarks on the plea bargain- nor do I.

You weren't there- you have no idea what transpired. What have I "asserted" outside of the fact that liberals wanted him arrested tried and silenced- are you going to tell me that's not true?
