Best Answer

Witness statements (usually given to the police during the investigation stage) are used to build the case against the defendant. The actual witnesses, themselves, will be subpoeanad to court and will testify in person. While on the stand both the prosecution and the defense will have the opportunity to question them, as well as refer to the original statements they made to the police.

You were subpoenaed but will be out of state when the court date is set will a written statement suffice in place of your appearance?

No, a written statement will not suffice in place of your appearance. No written statement by a witness is acceptable even if it is made in the form of an affidavit or certification, because the other party is not able to cross examine a written statement. Nor would the finder of fact able to see the witness testily in order to judge his or her credibility. The only way possible would be if all parties either agreed to allow it or if they stipulated to the facts in the statement.
