Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

I may have incriminated myself during a interview with police where i felt pressured to answer questions that are self incrimination for the promise that i would be helped by them, i was not read my rights but at the end of the interview i did sign the paper stating that what i had said was true and correct. they kept reminding me that i was not in trouble. it has been since September and i just went on my way thinking that nothing was going to happen and nothing has yet but i believe that the information i gave them they are using to incriminate someone else, and that trial is to begin soon, am i in danger of being prosecuted after my testimony comes out in court?

You haven't provided enough information. We don't know what sort of information you gave the police, whose trial is about to begin, what charges they face, what charges you might face, or why your testimony will matter. (DO NOT try to re-post your question with confidential details, since this is not a confidential site and your post could be used as evidence against you.) There's no way to assess your chances without that information. You should consult one-on-one with some local attorneys, giving them the information they will need in order to help you.

Talking to the police without a lawyer was a very serious mistake, but you obviously realize that already.
