It does not. However it may be difficult for the DA to get proof of the other convictions. In addition to proving the OUI guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, the DA also has to prove that the defendant is the same person who committed and was convicted of the previous offenses. There is much that comes into play on subsequent offenses when the previous ones happened long ago. Consult with a criminal defense OUI lawyer soon.

There is certainly the possibility that a person can be convicted if no breath test was taken. The prosector will have the police officer testify to the field sobriety tests that were done on the side of the road as well his observations of you - eyes, odor, speech, etc. - in an attempt to prove to the judge or jury that alcohol affected your ability to drive safely. A person has a much stronger defense against conviction when there is no breath test, but there is usually some other evidence...

The family is absolutely require to testify in court and will be summonsed by the District Attorney's office to do so. The only way she would not have to testify would be if she was married to the defendant or if she had a 5th amendment right against self-incrimination. It does not appear that either of those are presented in this statement of the case.

No not true. But that is quite a difficult question to answer without knowing what the charge is.

A person who is charged with murder, for example is also innocent until proven guilty. However, most often those individuals are held without bail pending trial because of the seriousness of the charge and the possible length of sentence. You can always speak with an attorney about asking the judge to revisit the bail conditions. Usually there has to be a change in circumstances for a judge to reduce bail or lift conditions.
