I did 8 months of treatment on my deferred prosecution but cannot afford it any longer. How much jail will I serve?

Michael’s Answer: Partial Deferred Prosecution? That will depend on the underlying facts of the case. Specifically, if it a 2nd offense with a BAC > .08 but < .15 then you will be looking at a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 days jail PLUS 60 days electronic home monitoring (EHM). If it was a refusal or breath test > .15 then its a mandatory minimum of 45 days jail and 90 days EHM. There is also mandatory license suspensions, ignition interlock requirements and SR22 insurance. You will also still be required to compete the treatment. In other words, you should REALLY try to find a way to pay for treatment.
