later well recently i pleade guilty to a DUI in which i felt was guilty..i'm suppose to go to trial by jury on the previous one and i was wanting to know can the most recent one be used in court to try and incriminate me by using that charge or rather be presented to the jury..Or must the court or anyone there leave out this information being that it happened after the previous incident? Any answers i appreciate, thank you

it can and WILL be used. they will use it to prove to the jury that u have not learned ur lesson, and since it happened a SECOND time they have a good arguement. Of course they want to make their case as strong as they can. good luck

This would be your second conviction - so yes they can use information from the first conviction even though the timing of the incidents are reversed.
And looking at the way you asked the question it is clear you should stop drinking. Now.

Yes, the more recent guilty plea can be used in court, but it is not proof of the earlier charge.

I think you should get an attorney, soon.
