The worst-case scenario would be her getting maximum jail time for both crimes. What is likely depends upon the judge, and the position the prosecutor takes. If she wants to avoid cooling her heels in jail, which would be my inclination if I were the judge, I suggest that she hire a criminal defense lawyer.
