"Any armed robbery is a felony." by a previous contributor.....

Added note:

Strong arm robbery is a violent threat or use of physical violence to purport a robbery without use of a weapon or object.

For that reason, it may or may not be considered a felony charge dependent on circumstantial or eye witness testimony. or evidence. The "threat" of a strong arm robbery in most cases is not considered a felony. It is lesser and considered intimidation in some points, harassment in others, or if a verbal threat is made of bodily harm with a weapon, and said weapon is within the immediate access, it is considered terroristic threat in some states.

So that advice is partially or mostly incorrect , as "strong arm robbery" is not ARMED robbery.

Can the courts change a felony to a misdemeanor?

The decision on whether a crime is a felony or a misdemeanor is a legislative decision and the court cannot change that directly. However most felony crimes have 'lesser included offenses' that are misdemeanors. For example, a burglary could be charged as a criminal trespass, a felony assault as a misdemeanor assault, or a robbery as a simple theft. This is not usually done by a Judge or a court, but can easily be done by a prosecutor or jury.

How much time will a juvenile get for simple assault and 2 possession charge?

Robbery is a felony - simple assault is a misdemeanor. If both charges arose from the same incident the prosecutor MAY combine the charges and hit you with the felony offense and 'enhance' it to account for the lesser offense. You are probably looking at a felony charge. Since no information is given about the offense, or your a past criminal record, it is impossible to estimate.
