Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Caught in the politics of the court?

[virgo74]

In February of 2007 I was arrested in once county on a warrant for a failure to appear on a DWLI in another county.... At the time of my arrest there was some stolen property in the bed of an acquaintances vehicle parked in my yard. At the time, I was arrested on the warrant alone but questioned about the stolen property and ended up writing a statement regarding my involvement... I drove while the other person picked up the stuff and loaded the vehicle bed. I was held in the arresting county for two and a half weeks and then sent to the county from where the warrant was issued for a week and a half then released on March 8, 2007. After my arrest they went back to my home and the vehicle and property was no longer there. I had a court appointed attorney and saw the judge. They let me go with no "keep in touch"...nothing. In December 2007 the other person(who owned the vehicle) was arrested and is currently in prison. On July 1, 2009 I was pulled over for the registration being out on my vehicle and was arrested because I had a warrant for theft. I posted bail and contacted a lawyer. He has informed me that it was a sealed indictment and that I was indicted in October of 2007. I am now looking at a 2 year state jail felony... I am looking at probation and paying restitution on the stolen property... Does all of this seem as though it was handled properly? Am I being caught in some court politics somewhere? They sent me on my way and have never heard another thing about it until now. Back then, things were different and I was involved with different people. Now, I am due to have my first child in January and just want to make sure that I am not being stepped on somehow...
