Tomorrow's hearing is probably just a preliminary arraignment where her rights and the charges will be read to her. She can ask for time to get a lawyer, and that should not be a probem...my guess is that she will be allowed to sign her own bail bond...If she is a juvenile, you should go with her......

Call me if you want--no charge
