No. A police officer doesn't have to witness the assult to make the arrest. If the assault was of a Domestic Nature and the officers believe an assault occur he is required to make an arrest. The law 99-3-7 (3) uses the phrase "Shall" which gives the officer very little choice.
(in the US) Yes, the accused has the Constitutional right to be confronted by the witness against him.
Difficult to answer. If there was an arrest involved, the arresting officer(s) will also testify as to what they saw and observed at the time. If their testimony is strongly indicative of the fact that an assault did occur (i.e.: obvious injuries - etc) the judge may discount his testimony and could convict you anyway. What most people don't understand, is that in Domestic Violence cases it is not up to the victim whether THEY want to press charges or not. Domestic Violence is a criminal assault crime committed against 'the state.' Your husband may be a reluctant witness, but it is not within his power to "drop" the charges.
Witness Against Torture was created in 2005.
Witness Against the Beast was created in 1993.
If you are the victim and it was reported to law enforcement it is probably too late to "drop" the charges. Sexual assaults are characterized as crimes against the state and once investigation and prosecution have begun it is too late to stop it. You can contact the prosecutor or investigating agency and declare that you would be an un-willing witness but even that might not be successful.
Usually, witnesses are issued a subpoena and they come of their own means. If a witness does not want to appear, law enforcement can be directed to bring the witness.
It's called an eye witness, one of the least reliable forms of evidence.
