Prosecution may bolster Limbaugh team

WEST PALM BEACH -- One of Florida's most prominent Republican lawyers may step in to assist prosecutors in conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh's case.

Tom Warner, former solicitor general of Florida, is being considered, sources say.

Warner is a former state representative from Stuart who ran unsuccessfully for Florida attorney general in 2002. He is married to Judge Martha Warner of the 4th District Court of Appeal, the court now considering an appeal by Limbaugh. She is not one of the judges on Limbaugh's case.

Limbaugh has not been charged with a crime and is awaiting the appeals court ruling on whether prosecutors can use medical records seized from his doctors as part of a doctor-shopping investigation. Warner's entry, if it occurs, is not expected until after the court ruling, which could come at any time.
