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.
no witness no case
yes they canAdded: Umm-m-m-m ... in most case, yes they can - but under certain circumstances using a relative as a witness could prove problematic - ESPECIALLY if the relative/witness is a beneficiary of whatever it is that they are witnessing. In such case it would probably be best to get an independent witness to your signature.
In the "discovery process" both sided in the case must divulge their witness lists to the other side.
Evidence is proof or disprove of the case that is being held and a testimony is when the witness is being asked questions by the lawyer.

What is meant of Witness and inimical witness and also tell me about its history?
The case would have to rely on physical evidence (if any), and/or witness statements.
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.
An advocate can be a witness, but not in his own case.
What witness statement, in what case?
The officer is the key witness, the case would be canceled.
An expert witness is a person who has been specially educated, or has experience beyond the norm, that can be legally called as a witness to testify in a case involving the topic the witness specializes in. They must be a neutral party in the case.
After Mayella Ewell leaves the witness stand, the trial will continue with the next witness or the cross-examination of the current one by the opposing lawyer. The lawyers will then use the testimonies and evidence presented to build their case and argue for their respective sides.
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.
A minor cannot witness a document. In this case it would be better for the guardian to be the witness.
One who happens to be on place of occurrence by chance is called a chance witness.
This would depend on whether the witness was capable of making a valid identification. If the witness made statements that were inconsistent with the facts of the case, the witness could be impeached (found to be untruthful) at trial or not called as a witness at all, invalidating the lineup identification.
