PROSECUTORS, MOVE ON

My 76-year-old mother lives with me, and she takes some serious 
medications. What am I suppose to do when I pick them up? Have the 
pharmacist break up the script into 10 bottles, so I can make 10 
trips to the store in an effort to not cross some unknown threshold number?

I don't believe any person in his correct mind, if called to be on 
any jury where there was no crime committed and the prosecution's 
case was based upon a person having legally prescribed drugs, would 
even have to leave the jury box to find that person innocent.

Officials at the Hillsborough State Attorney's Office really need to 
stop wasting our tax dollars. They need to get over this one and move 
on to important cases.

You win some; you lose some. You lost this one, so move on!
