    Most likely not. More possible not to do time if they had stayed.
    But they will need to hire an attorney.

    Agreed. She should've stayed and fought it. Now she's fled the country and risks even more serious charges. If she's smart, she'll hire an attorney from outside the country to represent her on her behalf, and maybe she has a good excuse like her family member just died and that's why she left - they might let her have a new trial, they might not. Either way she needs a lawyer - and a good one.
