    Angry Indicted for Participation in Organized Crime

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas. My husband ,brother, and I are being charged with organized crime. The original charge should have been theft but because one they could not prove he stole anything without proof of where product was taken after stolen. This is where party number two enters he was the one who took said property to scrap yards and pawn shops, after party ones drivers license expired. Party number three is being used because of the said amount of $80000. her participatation is $383.00 and they can produce no receipts. My questions are these we were never arrested my husband and I were interrogated and released my brother was also one year later questioned and also released investigator said not enough evidence to charge for theft. Three years later the grand jury found us guilty of organized crime. We had to turn ourselves in still never arrested now we are charged. I had a court date before I was even charged. Court appearance for a "announcement" meaning to face charges. My husband and brother never received such letter thank goodness I happened to find out before court otherwise failure to appear would have been issued. Also one more thing the incident report started on the day my husband came back to this company. How do they have the rights to interview us without reading us Miranda rights I wouldn't have been interviewed and neither would they without a attorney present. My husband even wrote a written statement to try to clear me and my brother stupid I know. Even with a written statement pleading all guilt no arrest Odd I say. Now we go to court to plea im wondering if they have done anything wrong to help us at least maybe get lighter sentences. We are both in our fifties and never been in trouble no records. they couldn't charge one without the other my brother also is a ex con and could really be in trouble.

    The grand jury issued an indictment charging you with a crime. You don't have to be arrested (ie handcuffed, transported and put in a cell overnight) to be charged with a crime.

    There is a difference between an Interview and an Interrogation.
    In an interview your Miranda Rights do not have to be read because you are free to leave.
    In an interrogation you are not allowed to leave, you are being detained for questioning so your Miranda rights should then be read.

    What exactly were you initially charged with and what were you convicted of (yes, they can be different....)?
