Best Answer

If a person is not able to attend a trial, many times the witness can make an official statement, called a deposition.

Added: YES, it IS necessary. While the above statement could be true in rare circumstances - unless the witness is near death or suffering from grave injuries preventing his attendance, a court will seldom, if ever, accept a depostion in lieu of live testimony, during which the witness can be cross examined.
