As RadarOnline.com previously reported, District Attorney Tony Estradas addressed O'Neal in court earlier this month and said: "Redmond O'Neal, welcome to drug court.

“The program will take at least one year. During that time you will work with counselors. You will submit to drug tests, one-on-one counseling, a 12-step program. You will come to court frequently. People will help you. As part of this program, you must have a job, or schooling to help you get a job."

"We don't want you to be in jail, we want you to beat your addiction. If you fail to comply with your counselors, you could be sanctioned with writing an essay, community service, or jail."
