Went to prison have hold in Highland Co

My friend was on probation in Highland County. She was in polk county and got arrested for crack. She was given a year and a day but she was told by a public defender that now that she was sentenced in polk county they would transport her to highland county to deal with the charges she has there. When she first got in trouble and was put on that probation the judge told her if she got in trouble again she would have a ten year suspended sentence. Well the state picked her up so she wasn't transported to Highland County. She wants to know how she could run copolk county charges and highland county concurent so she will not have to leave prison is 8 months and then have to serve time again when she leaves prison. I heard if you file Corpus Habious that could help what do I need to do to help her. Will she get the 10 sentence suspended sentence and if not why? If yes how long could she get

Re: Went to prison have hold in Highland Co

Your friend has a public defender and needs to speak to him or her. Your filings will not help. Either hire her a lawyer or be be patient. It will work out.
