It is true that he is a teenager/young adult, but he was just wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, and is clean cut, so there is nothign to really draw the manager to watch him.
dude, simply tell him, he tried to steal, he got caught, he's paying the price. let it be a lesson. he'll appreciate it when someone decides not to jack his shit, because they learned a similar lesson years back.

He wants to get into the financial field and/or management/marketing.
if he really doesnt want the misdemeanor, tell him to get a lawyer..
or wait a couple years and get it expunged

I mean, whenever i applied for a job it asked "have u ever been committed of a crime?", wouldn't an answer of yes put you lower on the totem pole?
If you're both in HS a misdemeanor would be off the record by the time you're out of college easily.
