    Unhappy Governor's Warrant

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: KY and AZ

    The situation is very complicated , hope you will help me. My friend had a warrant from AZ and got arrested 2 month ago he lives in KY, after postig a bond he got out and we found a lawyer, we took it to a court without knowing that he has to leave to AZ one way or another. The lawyer did not let him know that he got extradition warrant and AZ is waiting for him, the only thing lawyer was saying that everything is fine and he talks to agents in AZ. After we realized that something is wrong with the lawyer becouse we did not even knew what he got charged with in AZ (what we knew it was drug charges and wire tab).
    After we changed the lawyer in 2 days he got arested with governors warrant and they searched the home with search warrant and found rolled marihuana cigarette and 5 gram of it.
    So we was waiting for AZ to come and get him from jail but he got charged in KY for selling drugs in school zone (what is of course not true), now I dont know what to do, to fight felony here but it can take up to 7 month per his lawyer and he is still in jail becouse there is no bond for him for governors warrant, or accept felony and go to AZ and fight the case there but with felony in KY he might face 5-6 years in AZ per lawyer and we do not even know what AZ has on him or what charges there are, nobody can figure it out. So whats the best way for us?

    it's not your choice. Kentucky can keep him in Kentucky and try him and even jail him. Then then can release him to Arizona who can try him and impose a jail sentence.

    or Kentucky can choose to release him to Arizona where Arizona can do whatever they want.

    but in the end, it really isn't up to you.
