Robbery is a felony and it cannot be reduced to a misdemeanor, so if they think the elements of robbery are there, they're charging him with it. It's also a "strike" under California's "Three Strikes" law - and even juvenile cases can count as strikes.

If he's not guilty, then he should fight it. If you cannot afford an attorney to represent him, the public defender's office will be appointed.
