Not just his attorney, but per the linked new article, the DA admits it was a false positive.

So if the criminal justice probation system makes a mistake and re-incarcerates a person wrongly ( => “false positive”) then that’s just fine if we don’t like the offender or his sentence.

good to know.

I am in agreement with you.

The sentence he should have received initially is a moot point here.

Since the drug test was a false positive, he did not violate the terms of his probation in this instance. What everyone is saying here is that because he deserved a harsher sentence we can go back and lock him up anyway even if he didn’t violate his probation because he deserves it.

Everyone here who would passively accept being locked up for a false positive raise your hand.
