Who can be an independent witness?
According to the police, an independent witness is someone who is not led by that of a friend or someone who can be influenced by you. For example, if you were verbally assaulted by another and you had 10 friends at your side who witnessed this, their statement cannot be used in a court of law or as evidence. So unjust I know, believe me.... But if you want an independent witness, try someone you don't know.

Can hearsay of a habitual violator of a crime say a man with no record of such crime is the guilty party when all evidence is found on violator's property?
No, since the question presumes the evidence is hearsay; therefore it is inadmissible even if the witness had the highest degree of credibility. There are many exceptions to the hearsay rule and many instances where an out of court statement seems to be inadmissible hearsay but is not (i.e. non hearsay hearsay), that it serves no purpose to provide facts that would allow the statement to be used at trial. If the question posed more facts than just the statement that the evidence is hearsay, they would show whether the statement is admissible under an exception or as non hearsay hearsay. Once the statement is admitted as evidence it would be up to the jury to determine if the witness is believable.

What is a legal document demanding your testimony in court?
Once a lawsuit is filed, there is also something called an Order that is issued by the judge (a subpoea is usually issued by the court clerk or a lawyer) that requires a witness to appear in court (or at a deposition or hearing). You get an order after you file a motion to compel (if the jdge grants your motion). That is much more serious than a subpoena. If there is an order compelling a witness to appear in court, and he or she doesn't appear, the court may punish him or her in a variety of ways. One thing the court could do is say, okay, you didn't show up, now you lost the lawsuit. Hope this helps.
