Can he be charged with manslaughter if one of the victims dies of cancer?

This is only half a question, so I'm not sure I understand it. Since you posted in the DUI category, are you asking if somebody can be charged with manslaughter following a DUI crash where the victim dies of cancer? The prosecution must prove causation - that is that the incident somehow led to the death. But. a defendant unfortunately gets their victims as they are. If the person had a pre-existing condition and this incident wouldn't have killed a healthy person but did kill this person - then yes, a manslaughter charge may be possible. This is WAY beyond a question & answer on the Internet. Whoever this person is that is being accused of manslaughter needs to keep their mouth shut, make NO statements to the police and get the best attorney they can find.

Is there a warrant out for my arrest if I got a DUI in March but didn't have money for a DUI program until now?

Normally, you would be required to sign up within about one week. You need to go back to court. You can probably get your case added back on to the calendar and not go into jail since you are bringing the issue to the court, not as a result of a new arrest. Contact your old attorney.

Is there any way to get my case dismissed if my Miranda rights were violated?

First problem - you paid good money for an attorney, but they won't take your call? It might be time to get a new lawyer and demand a refund from the first. As to the main question you asked - if there was a Miranda violation, then it may result in a suppression of your statements, but not necessarily invalidate the entire case. If there is enough evidence to proceed without your statements, the case can go forward. Every criminal case is fact specific - you'll need to discuss it with your attorney - either the one you paid if they will talk to you or one you hire that actually takes an interest in their clients.
