There is no way to know whether a criminal charge will be a direct indictment until the indictment is returned. Whether a case is charged as a direct indictment is not dependent upon the level of felony or on whether the defendant has a prior record.

Second degree felonies carry a possible prison term of 8 years and a hefty fine. You absolutley should not try to address this case without an attorney.

Good luck.
