If the facts are as you stated you have a strong defense. The fact that you were not read your rights may assist you with certain issues, but it is not a get out of jail free card. The police are not required to read you your rights until you have been taken into physical custody. The question you presented raises even more questions, and it is hard to give you a complete answer. Feel free to give me a call.
