Having looked at everything this is a lackluster showing for Nick.
White opens with this gem:

From reading this comment it appears that Nick's PSI interview was absolutely awful.
Not sure if he actually said something retarded like
- "Drugs are cool"
- "I'm the only victim"
- "This is all blown out of proportion"
- "I don't have a problem"
- "Everything was fine before the arrest"
Whatever it was, it led the Probation Department to make this statement about his priorities being all out of whack.
From there White goes on to make a weird argument about the length of term

I think it's clear to me that probation wants his deferred term to be 60 months as well. White makes a good point that the recommendation is TRIPLE the normal term.
He then loses the point by then arguing to shorten the standard term by HALF. Making a ridiculous request leaves you in a position where the Court ends up ignoring you......Why do this?
And it's telling what White doesn't expound upon as support for Nick:
- Nick's remorse
- Positive drug & alcohol recommendations
- Nick's attempts at bettering himself since the arrest
None of that's present.....
Moving on to the Letters
We don't see:
My son may have stumbled, but he has taken accountability for his missteps. He wants to go back to caring for his family and raising his children. I am proud of the progress he has made since last May and I still love him despite his mistakes.
Instead we have:
He drives his kids everywhere. His kids are so smart.
He also helps all the poor peasants in this community, including his brokie in-laws Go on vacation.
Good job, Bobert. I also don't get the double spacing between paragraphs
This reads like a hostage note. More talk of driving the kids around. And then, we get this:

Nick is so stunning and brave....truly an o7 moment, boys. He fights for my freedom (the next Manowar album will be about Nick).
Not sure who is bothered by his free speech and "activism". The idea that any halls of power tremble at the sound of Nick's microphone is laughable.
Nick is the city of the hill that Reagan spoke of, apparently.
She actually focused on things that would matter in this type of correspondence with the court.
- Diversion will be helpful and has helped tons of people
- Addiction affects lots of people
- Nick is remorseful
- This wasn't a good thing
Her letter is the best of the three, by far.
We'll hear from the state in response or when they get to speak at the hearing. We'll also hear from the judge for these things that don't appear to make any sense.
The transcripts will be good reading....
