1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Back from the Bahamas, wrecked. I got a text that said please call me immediately, so I opened a Coke Zero and called. He told me I didn't know him, that he was on my live YouTube video two weeks ago and made a note of something I said, and that it proved why his judge gave him an extra two years. What I said was that a judge may give a longer sentence to account for the reductions: a year off from the First Step Act, another year to offset the drug program, and up to 12 months in the halfway house for good conduct. Three years with FSA, RDAP, and halfway house. He said that's exactly what happened, that his judge knew he would get a year from FSA and a year from the drug program, so he gave him the two years. I asked how he knows. He said he just knows, from the way the judge spoke to him and the way the judge listened to victims who had it out for him. My answer was to prepare differently. Recognize the strategy is flawed and isn't working. Write a letter to your judge. Write a letter to the probation officer who will approve your job in the halfway house, and if that job is KFC, nothing wrong with the colonel, though you probably want something else. Ask better questions about what you can create that doesn't exist, instead of playing director in your own mind.
