His prior convictions certainly can be used if he decided to testify on his own behalf (not sure if he did in this case). In this instance, A jury will certainly look at and take into consideration prior offenses unless ordered not to do so by the presiding judge because of some legal reason or loophole. A repeat / habitual offender will also be sentenced more harshly than someone who has a first offense conviction.

Prior offenses would only be used for sentencing.
The ''public'' doesn't decide the case... the jury does. It found him not guilty.
Pretty sure that the jury had access to blood tests and accident reconstruction data.
