Does a defendant win a domestic case if the victim doesn't show for court?
It depends on the situation. I had this exact same situation occur to me, but I was the defendant and I wanted to fight the charge. I opted to go to trial, and from that point I had 30 days to receive my quick and speedy trial (CA). When I was 10 days away from my trial date, I had to go into court, and the (so called) victim was supposed to be there as well, but she wasn't. Long story short, during the last 10 days leading up to my trial date, I had to return to court nearly every day to see if the District Atty found and got her to to come in, and if not, to see if he wanted to dismiss or keep "trailing" until the day prior to trial. On the day prior to the trial date, the District Atty announced to the judge that he was unable to proceed because he couldn't locate the victim. In my case, I had evidence that would have helped me, and without his star witness, the D.A. had no chance of winning. I'm not a legal guru, but I'd say if there is enough evidence (medical records, other witnesses, etc...), the District Atty will go after you, even if he doesn't have the victim.
Why is it taking so long for the courts to decide if the Duke lacrosse players are innocent or guilty?
The accused players have not yet gone to trial and it is doubtful that they ever will. Be that as it may, in such cases a jury renders the verdict not the judge. The rape charges were dropped against all the players and the prosecutor's office has made no decisions as to whether or not they will take the player's to trial for the remaining charges of kidnapping and sexual assault. The US Constitution guarantees persons who have been charged with a crime a "speedy trial", that being the case if the state proscutor decides to go forward with a trial it is quite likely the judge will rule the defendants Constiutional rights have been violated and will dismiss the charges.
