Legal Question in DUI Law in California
If arrested on 3/5/2010 for 2nd DUI (23152b) and hit and run (20002a) in CA and there is a Colorado DUI and a Geargia Dui where bench warrant was issued for non-appearance; will this be a 2nd DUI or a forth and possible felony??

If the district attorney finds out about the out of state cases and those resulted in convictions, than this case may be a fourth offense. If those cases have not resulted in convictions then the California case will be a second.
Every DUI conviction in every state counts as a prior. Your 'rap sheet' will show them all. While the GA case is not yet a conviction, but , the warrant will show and the CA prosecutor will take that into account in charging you and in whatever plea bargain he may be willing to make, if any. You face potential felony charges here. Get an attorney. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
