This is a hard question to answer for three reasons.
1) Each state has different sentencing guidelines for different crimes.
2) One sister can be sentenced as an adult the other as a Juvenile or both as adults. Again the laws in your state are the deciding factor.
3) the word "Aggravated" can have many different meaning especially when it comes to crime and the law. The term "aggravated" when used to describe a crime can mean some type of weapon was used, anything from a gun to a broom stick. In the case of burglary it could be because it was committed while people were at home and they tied them up or harmed them in some manner.
In most cases that means that additional time will be added when the term "aggravated is added to the charge. In my state that is an additional five (5) years added to the time recommended in the sentencing guide line for the base offence.
Now it is also possible given their ages that the judge might consider supervised probation and community service. With the 17 year old not being compliant with her bail restrictions I would not hold out a lot of hope the judge will have much sympathy for her. She will probably go to jail and most likely for the recommended time. The sixteen year old has a better chance at probation if this is a first offence. As she is compliant with her bail restrictions and given her age.
You have most of two months left to talk with the older sister and get her to get her act straight is she wants to avoid going to jail. Judges are not the most lenient people. They want to see a reason to be lenient. Compliance with bail restrictions and attempts at restitution and other things their attorney may suggest is the best way to stay out of Jail.
