Based on the information you provided your brother requires a criminal defense attorney. If your brother has no funds to hire his own attorney then he would need to request that the court appoint him an attorney from the Public Defender's Office. Once that attorney is appointed by the court, he/she will enter a plea of not guilty on your brothers behalf. That attorney will then represent your brother, gather information and witnesses, and do what they must to defend him and seek the best possible outcome for him in regards to the charges he is facing.
