Pre-hire letter

I got a letter from CR England today. Found a recruiter that was willing to help me. 1 down. 1 to go.
The school only wanted 1.
My case worker wants 2.
Jeez..

 

Well, CR England lied to me about the pre-hire letter. They now say that my felony must be 15 years old or more.
What?
This was a 273.5a.
Corporal punishment of spouse.
There was no injury here, just a "post OJ trial" argument with my ex gf that resulted in my arrest.
A 273 can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony.
Lawyers call it a "wobbler".
The most bargain basement felony there is.

15 years?
Seriously?

I don't get this.
I didn't steal anything.
Didn't sell dope.
I had a shouting match with a my ex GF!

I did my time.
Paid my fine.
Moved on in my life.
No trouble with the law for 13 years, and I don't qualify to even be considered for work?



Now I have 2 carts in front of my blind, one-legged horse.

I guess presenting myself as an able bodied, drug free, willing to work adult just isn't good enough.
