Wearing jailhouse blues, O'Neal appeared in court Tuesday morning before Judge Michael Tynan for a status update on his rehab.

As Redmond  appeared in court on Tuesday,  Judge Tynan read a letter that O'Neal had written the judge. The letter appeared to be at least 4 pages front and back. "I read a rather thoughtful letter," the judge said. Tynan said he "wouldn't go into the family stuff in the letter, but you (Redmond) mention pride and how proud your family, friends, and girlfriend are of you and then you let them down."

Tynan said that "home" is the trigger for Redmond's recent relapse. "You are going to stay somewhere at some point. Recovery isn't a walk in the park, you have a responsibility to yourself to stay sober, not your family."  Redmond said, "I have to go somewhere on my own."
