If you were sent a court summons or subpoena to show up and testify and you didnt go they could issue a bench warrant for failing to appear in court and you could be arrested and or fined ,However If you just told the person that you would come and testify for them and you did not receive a summons or subpoena from the court, then you are not bound by law to appear and nothing will happen whether they plead guilty or not.

Trespass is usually a minor misdemanor charge. When appearing in court you will get the opportunity to plead guilty or not guilty.

What does pleaded guilty mean?

If you have been arrested by the police because they think you have committed a crime, the next thing that happens is that you are brought to court for trial. When you come into court the charges against you are read out and you are given the opportunity to say that either you did not do the things you are accused of (a plea of not guilty) or that you agree that you did what you are accused of (a plea of guilty). If you plead guilty then there is no trial and the court will decide the punishment you deserve immediately. If you plead not guilt, a trial will be held and a jury will be appointed to hear both sides of the argument and decide if they think you are or are not guilty. If they decide you are guilty you will be punished.


If you plead guilty for a misdemeanor can it be appealed?

Typically, if you plead guilty to a misdemeanor, it is difficult to appeal the conviction because a guilty plea usually waives the right to appeal.

It's best to consult with a legal professional for advice specific to your situation.
