WHAT KIND OF statement do you wish to retract? If it was a written witness statement given to law enforcement - you can still be compelled to appear and testify as to why you originally gave it, and why you are now withdrawing it. If you gave a verbal statement from the stand and were (presumably) under oath, you will be subject to intense cross-examination as to your reasons for doing so.
