My biggest victory yet

Today I got this kid out of jail and had his violation of probation withdrawn by the state. It was great. They alleged he didn't live where he said he lived and that he was arrested in Ft. Lauderdale. Well, after getting info from the family and investigating I discovered he did in fact live there and that it was his cousin, not himself, who was arrested in Ft. Lauderdale. After presenting this evidence to the judge and the state attorney, they withdrew the violation and released him today to go back on probation. It sucked that he was in jail from Wednesday till today, and "celebrated" his 22nd birthday in the jail, but it was a good feeling. And everyone told me I did a good thing today. Its good to see justice done right every once in a while.
