I live in Baton rouge Louisiana .I got arrested in new orleans Louisiana and was charged with DUI, Wreckless Operation, Possession of 1/2 gram marijuana (a roach), and paraphanelia. After a long legal process and having my license suspended for one year, i got offered a Diversion program. The program offered was to last for 6 months, take random drug test where my color could be called anytime, and go to 48 drug education classes and AA meetings. Well because of hurricane Katrina passing through this area the phone lines were trashed in N.O. so for almost a month i couldnt receive a color when i called the testing line nor could i talk to my councelor. Work soon started back after the hurricane and we had a lot of work called in and were very busy. For me to attend these classes i had to miss most of the work day on tuesdays and wednesdays because these were the only times that they were held. Well i was told at my job that if i couldnt make it to work everyday they would have to lay me off. I consider my job very important to me because i have been there for a while and make ok money.

So i decided to stop going to the classes. I continued to try and get in touch with my councelor in N.O. but only got answering machines. A few days ago i received a letter in the mail telling me that they are going to move along with prosecuting me. This was no surprise to me because i had already decided to just take the charges because my job is more important than a few misdemenors. But anyways to the main point....

I didnt breathe for the breathalizer and from my knowledge the only thing in LA that you get is a suspension of your license for one year. My question is what do you think my sentence will be for these 4 charges?
