NJ does not have a 180 day rule as does the Feds. Some counties have their own rules ordered by the assignment judges so they can hold a person as long as they need to.

What does secret indictment mean?

A secret indictment is the basis in which the prosecutor brings the person giving the testimony before a grand jury to give a testimony so that the accused can be arrested with a warrant. Note that the person being accused of a crime is not aware that he/she is being charged with a crime because they have no idea they are being indicted.That is why it is called a "silent" indictment. But as with any other criminal case you have a constitutional right to a trial by jury...don't ever give that right up if you are innocent.
