Can you report an armed robbery then not testify?
Every jurisdiction must give the accused a right to face his accuser. Therefore the victim of a crime MUST appear in court to give testimony. There are a few rare exceptions for situations in which the examination and opportunity to cross-examine are done before trial in a criminal trial. These may occur if the witness is unlikely to appear at trial, in other words to die before trial. The defendant must have an opportunity to be present at these proceedings. The state and/or the defense can and do force eyewitnesses and victims of crimes to testify at trial. This is done ALL THE TIME. Either side (or the judge, for that matter) can subpoena (that is get a court order) to bring witnesses into court. You can be arrested and held until you testify or until it is decided you are not needed in the proceedings.

If the state requesting the extradition does not obtain the necessary orders (such as a Governor's Warrant) or does not send officers to bring the accused person back within the time set by the court hearing the request for extradition, the accused person must be released (assuming they're not being held on other charges). The accused person can be re-arrested when the agency with original jurisdiction says they are prepared to bring the accused person back.
