Tiger Woods’ prescription drug records are set to be handed over to prosecutors as part of his DUI case in Florida. Judge Darren Steele approved the decision in a quick hearing after an agreement between Woods’ defense and the prosecution.
The defense had argued for the golfer’s right to privacy, but acknowledged it is not absolute. Prosecutors will receive the records, though their release will be limited to involved parties only.
An impartial law professor noted the case is being handled typically, without signs of special treatment for Woods. The golfer pleaded not guilty, despite evidence of driving impairment and damage caused during the incident.
