Ordinarily, when an indictment this serious is handed up, the person is arrested and brought into court to enter a plea (guilty or not guilty), and bail is set.I think the more serious question here is whether he will be allowed to post bail on the second indictiment, if it happens.  It is quite possible that the prosecutor will ask to have him held in jail, no bail, and that the judge will agree that your friend is too great a danger to society.If your friend does not have an attorney, I think he needs to get one, now.  If you need to find a lawyer, you can do that at http://attorneypages.com
