Would likely depend upon the one who has the power
to reduce it to something less serious(normally the assistant commonwealth's attorney who is assigned to the case in consultation with his or her supervisor).

Re: robbery case
It is definitely possible to have the charge reduced. Any reduction will depend in part on the strength of the commonwealths case, reasonableness of the prosecutor and how your attorney approaches the case.
