AFTER FAILING AS A TV CELEBRITY, ROY BLACK IS NOW BACK ON TOP . . . Only the lure of TV fame can explain Roy Black's ill-fated decision to star in the reality show "The Firm" last year. You say you never heard of it? That's because it was around only about a week, and it was a huge flop.
But now Roy Black is back on top. I'm speaking of the result he achieved for Rush Limbaugh this week, as summarized in an article by Rebecca Riddick on Law.com: "Did Rush Limbaugh Get Off Easy in OxyContin Case?"--
While critics say conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh got off easy in his deal last week with Palm Beach County prosecutors to avoid drug charges, some legal experts say the settlement was a fair one for a first-time drug offender.
But other experts say Limbaugh, 55, avoided prosecution as a result of an aggressive, high-priced legal fight by his attorney, Roy Black of Miami. Black challenged prosecutors' effort to obtain Limbaugh's medical records and took that fight all the way to the Florida Supreme Court.
If Roy Black feels bad that he failed in his bid to become the Donald Trump of trial lawyers, he doesn't have to fret too much. It seems he still has a future as a lawyer.
