It would be somewhat unusual to have an indictment so early in a case. These are matters your friend needs to discuss with his attorney. Most felony defendants have several early hearings addressing probable cause, bond, counsel and other initial issues.
No one in this forum can tell you what's going on. Consult with a local attorney.
