It is impossible to know when she will be sentenced. She can be sentenced very quickly if she pleads guilty or no contest but that isn’t necessarily a good idea.

Likely, the defense is also trying to negotiate a resolution with the prosecutor. The defense attorney on the case is in a far better position to guess how long until the case resolves and even then it would be speculative.
