More details to this question:
She was arrested at her house which she signed a lease two weeks prior. The cops said they had a warrant busted in and broke all her stuff, she is charged with one possession of receiving stolen property and one for a sawed off shotgun. This is her first time in trouble she is 18. She bought the stolen property from facebook it was a laptop and the guns she didn't know about but she just moved in because she wanted to be on her own. Should I hire a lawyer for my sister or let the public defender handle the case. If so how much time is she looking to get.

I really cannot give you a good guess on time because I don't have the police report and have no idea if they think this is a major operation, or a 1 time incident. Public Defenders are over worked and a private attorney usually has more time to focus on a case.
