Hopefully you’ll come out of this alright. You might want to take the time to talk with a lawyer BEFORE 1/6/10. Perhaps the lawyer can nip this in the bud before you manage to get indicted. Here is a link to the Arrest-Trial process. It’s a pretty good summary although it does omit some things.

Answer #3

sam12, you’ve already moved ahead to sentencing. That has nothing to do with the indictment process.

Answer #4

I suppose it’s in the realm of extreme possibility, but I doubt it. If they were going to issue an arrest warrant, they probably would have done so already. More likely is that they will give you a trial date and release you on your own recognizance.

Answer #5

ok well the crime is participating in a narcotics transaction but im innocent I swear

Answer #6

it depends on the crime if you’ll get arrested, you may just get community service or fined.

Answer #7

It’s ‘indicted,’ and to be indicted means that you’ve been formally charged with committing a crime.
