Did you plead guilty to the charge in court? If not fight it. The indictment can be secret but after they execute the warrants everything has to be open. You want to get a lawyer and fight the matter.

Your question makes little sense. Did you plead guilty to something or were you convicted after a trial Those are the only way someone gets convicted. As for a "secret indictment" what do you mean People are often indicted before they are arrested. It is perfectly legal. I suggest you consult with a criminal attorney to discuss options, if any. As for the assault, did you file a Notice of Claim Do you have injuries significant enough to warrant the time and money that a lawyer puts into a lawsuit.
