I was indited on theft by identity. I was picked up on other charge an relesed on it now im indited on this with no sitation no court date nothing just hurd i was indited is that legual an it isnt a sealed inditment
If you’ve been indicted, you have been charged. They are supposed to notify you or send a letter but many times that fails to happen. Contact your lawyer and have him arrange to appear for arraignment and get a date. Nothing illegal about any of it.
