A: Your friend should contact a criminal defense attorney immediately to discuss the details of her case. It is unclear what the exact charges are, but if there is an indictment then she is facing a felony charge which can have serious consequences. An attorney can go over her specific case details to give her a better understanding of what she is facing.
