Realistically, it depends on in which county your friend is charged. Legally, he/she could face up to 10 years on each count. But, practically speaking, it depends on whether you have a more liberal judge or a strict judge. Your friend's attorney will be negotiating with an Assistant District Attorney, not the Judge, but all ADA's base their recommendations on what the Judge normally will accept for a plea.
