Fresh off my unmitigated victory in a reconfinement hearing, last week I won my first revocation hearing ever. It was a pretty solid win for me, considering (a) the guy committed a new crime and admitted to it, (b) he had already been given a second chance (ATR) and screwed up again, (c) I didn't even have a viable alternative to revocation available, and (d) if revoked, the guy would have automatically gone back to prison for a year and a half.
Apparently I found the only ALJ who listens to reason and common sense. Also, one who buys into the "Come on..." argument.
For my next trick? Maybe I'll watch Heroes and chill for a bit.
