Judicial Waiver

Explanation:

A judicial waiver happens when a juvenile court judge decides that a juvenile case presented before him/her should be transferred to an adult court with a view to denying the juvenile of protections which juvenile jurisdictions provide.  

Such transfers usually happen when the offence committed by the juvenile is outstandingly shocking or weighty like John's robbery offence. In other instances, the transfer occurs because the juvenile has a long history of criminal offences.
