She's looking a prison time unless she has a good attorney.

Armed robbery is an extremely serious charge carrying a possible sentence of up to life in prison. Unless there are some serious issues or problems with her case, no matter what they offer her she is probably facing some prison time. Make sure she is represented by an experienced criminal defense attorney.

Armed robbery, in Michigan, carries up to life in prison and is mandatory prison time. That means no chance at probation. You need to get her a good lawyer.
