My understanding is Rush was never caught with controlled substances. Moreover the local prosecutor said in a news story that the maid's tape recordings of Rush were inadmissible in Fla courts. He has admitted a drug problem but as far as I know, has not admitted a specific crime.

Whatever the truth and reality of his situation, that may very well not permit a prosecution. Sometimes the law "is a ass", sometimes not. A bad result in one case should have no carryover to a proper case.
