The sales charge carries up to four years in state prison. The possession for sale charge might add an additional eight months� or it might not add any time, if it's based on the same stuff. The misdemeanor resisting charge would also run concurrent to any prison sentence.
She could get up to a year for the parole violation. It would be concurrent if it's based on the same conduct as the new case. If there are other grounds, such as failure to report to her parole officer, the violation could be consecutive.
She could also get another year for the prior prison term. If she has a prior sales-related conviction, that could add three years.
