What should I get if a cop caught me with 28 pills?

Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
First time distribution charge may carry a little jail time, and a lot of probation. When you violate probation (guaranteed, since you barter in pills and marijuana), you will spent considerable time in jail (2-3 years). Good luck.

Can I just be read the Miranda Rights on the station and not on the arresting place?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
The police do not have to read you your Miranda rights upon arrest, only when you are in police custody and they wish to start questioning you. That sounds like what happened in your case so I wouldn't see a problem with it. Of course, if there is additional information that you have left out, that opinion could change. There wouldn't be a problem without reading you your Miranda rights anyway unless you happened to say something incriminating. The misconception about Miranda warnings is that a violation results in the arrest being invalid which simply isn't true. Miranda only applies to incriminating statements and sometimes evidence obtained from those statements, but never to the arrest itself.

How should I write a letter to a judge?

It will up to the judge, who may or may not read it. It may be a better idea to talk with the Defendant's attorney. It also may not be possible to keep this from the either the victim's or defendant's family.
