Re: what to do now

Did the judge instruct your friend to speak to an attorney? If so, why hasn't he? If the Judge ordered the public defender to meet with him, then you or someone on his behalf needs to contact the judge about that. And, 15 months is probably more than he would have to serve unless it is really a terrible crime.
