Fugitive From Justice in NY, and Extradition to Florida?

Without getting into too much details a friend of mine was arrested a couple of days ago for a cl A misdemeanor (ault w/ intent to cause physical injury) here in NY. His court date is already set. However the following month he will have another court date for being a Fugitive From Justice out of Florida relating to a parole violation for involuntary manslaughter. Obviously bond has not been posted, and I'm extremely worried since he's been my friend for about 9 years, and you would think there was a statue of limitations at least for parole violation over seven years! Needless to say since neither we (his friends in NY) or him can afford an attorney, and seeing how he will be appointed one by the court what is the worst case scenario relating to this situation? Will he serve prison time here in NY, and then get extradited to Florida for further punishment? Pretty much what can we expect from this whole situation? I know a bit complicated. But without consulting a lawyer what are some opinions from those of you more knowledgeable on the law? I've already done my own research but I'm no lawyer...
