Sorry, no, that is not enough, In the US the defendant is entitled to be confronted by their accuser. In a Forcible Robbery case it is a crime against the state and you are the Complaining Witness (Complainant). It is not within your power to "drop charges" or anything like that. Talk it over with the Prosecutor and tell him/her your apprehension.
What else can I help you with?
If a defendant refuses to testify at trial what can the prosecution tell the jury?
Your question is unclear. In the USA, a defendant does NOT HAVE TO testify at his trial, ever. The defendant is the one accused of committing the crime. He does not have to say anything (OJ Simpson did NOT testify in his first trial, Scott Peterson did NOT testify at his trial.) The Prosecutor will present his case (with all his evidence and witnesses) explaining to the jury (or judge) WHY the evidence shows the defendant committed the crime. The Defense Attorney will present his case (with all his evidence and witnesses) explaining to the jury (or judge) WHY the evidence does NOT show the defendant committed the crime. The defendant does not have to be one of those witnesses. He cannot be forced to testify.
What do you say when you have to testify against your abuser?
The prosecutor should go over your testimony so you can practice.
Does the grand jury hear only the prosecutor's side of the case?
Yes. A grand jury is just determing whether probable cause exists, which may be the case even if conflicting or exculpatory evidence exists. A defendant may request to testify before a grand jury, and will often be given the opportunity to do so, but does not have the right to testify.
Is a prosecutor forbidden to make any statements that draws the jurys attention to the defendants failure to testify?
No. The jury will likely be instructed by the judge and the defense not to draw any inference from the fact that the defendant did not testify in his own behalf, but nothing prevents the prosecutor from referring to this OBVIOUS fact in his closing argument.
As part of my plea I agreed to testify against defendant. I was never asked the role defendant played in crime. I am done with my sentence. Can the prosecutor revoke my plea if I refuse to testify?
Yes, the prosecutor can revoke your plea if you refuse. Also if you go on trail and lie to the court you will face more charges. It is best that you just do what you agreed to.
