He owns his relapses but it is also a big part of his recovery to be able to pin point what triggers them and avoid those situations. Also, having a lot of knowledge of this disease a relapse is not because of a lack of will power or a moral problem, and the relapse starts with thoughts and emotions long before he takes an actual drink. Drinking is only one symptom of alcoholism.
His sobriety is closely monitored by his sponsor/ probation officer so she can't just say that he is active when he is not. He would have a swarm of people willing to stand up for his sobriety if need be. He is also not going to lie about relapses on the same token, they both have respect for AA and what it represents. Hopefully whatever judge has the case will have some knowledge on what recovery is, because while an active addict of any kind will definitely be a liar/manipulator, a truly recovering one will be more honest than a non-addict.
Thanks for the advice.
