Re: robbery charge
Yes, normally defendants in criminal cases in all U.S. jurisdictions may file motions to discover whatever discoverable evidentiary material that the prosecution may have in its possession, and to request that such materials, as required under the applicable rules of evidence, be turned over to the defense.
