depends on your case, if u r claiming that someone has done damage to your property and even though there is evidence of damage but did not see the person in actual action, then it's your word against theirs. if someone claims you hurt them and there is no evidence of trauma/ any physical evidence or even that u attacked them, and only liable witness decides not to testify, its your word against them. it's as simple as this i can say i don't know you, or know what u r talking about and u can say the same thing. why do u think cops help each other lie about being the other witness. because if there's no evidence to prove a cops case against you, then cops partner and back-up officers lie for cop claiming injury. whatever one cop say the other back it up.

What happens if a signed witness does not show up to court for a criminal case?

If anyone has been subpoenaed (summoned) to appear in court and fails to do so, they can be held in contempt. This applies to defendants as well as witnesses. If a witness fails to appear, the court can dismiss the case or continue it to a later date when the witness' attendance is more likely. Which one will occur depends on the seriousness of the charge and whether it is likely the witness can be located and compelled to appear. The court can also decide to move forward on the case without the witness, if their testimony is not crucial to either side's case.

What if a witness is not sworn in at a trial?

It depends on why the witness is not there, what kind of witness it is, what kind of case it is, and what sort of evidence the witness is expected to give. In a criminal trial, the case may be dismissed if there is no witness. Or the trial may be delayed while law enforcement finds and brings the witness to court (if they are ignoring a subpoena). If the witness is ill or travelling, the case may be continued to wait for the witness. If the witness is not key, the parties may proceed without him/her, or they may shift around the order or witnesses to allow that witness to appear later in the trial.
