VOP hearings require less of a burden upon the state to convince a judge of reasons to send the defendant back to prison. You are right, Ricci was a ex con and honestly I dont have alot of sympathy for him. I was a defense attorney for 5 years prior to coming to work for SCORE so my roots sometimes get the better of me.
All that being said, in the case of a convicted rapist being welcomed back onto the boards, this is not exactly a shining moment in the history of GFY imo.
FATPad said it best, this is pathetic.

The VOP hearing was undoubtedly tainted by the abduction of Elizabeth Smart but he did confess to burglarizing the Smart home and this would, of course, be legitimate cause to return him back to prison.
As to your assessment of FATPad's statement, I concur.
