Although an officer should read you your Miranda rights when you are arrested, it is not absolutely necessary as long as you are not questioned about the crime for which you were arrested or were detained during the questioning. Miranda only acts to suppress any statements you gave the police after you are arrested or detained. It does not invalidate an arrest.

If there was no injury involved and it was your 1st offense, then a misdemeanor. You can pull up your criminal record yo confirm. You should also consider getting the conviction expunged.

It's the governments job to prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, not the other way around. You can sit through a trial and say nothing, do nothing, and still be found not guilty if the government failed to prove you guilty of the crime. For DUI in Colorado - the government must prove that you drove and when you drove you were under the influence of alcohol or drugs such that it impacted your ability to operate the car/truck. You should retain an attorney to ensure your rights are protected and aggressively defend against this action.
