You should be concerned as she may be looking at substantial jail time depending on the amount involved, her prior criminal history, if any, whether she acted alone or with other individuals and what part she played in the crime. If she doesn't have an attorney, she needs to hire the best criminal defense attorney she can afford.

Yes, while she can likely get some of the charges reduced or voided, I think that she could be seeing some jail time.

Not really. She'll probably get probation if she has no record previously.
