you can ask a higher court to review the verdict and replace it with a different decision.

Your next step would be to appeal your case to the Court of Appeals for the particular Disctrict Court in which you were convicted. They will review it and either agree to review it, affirm it (they agree with the trial court), or remand it (send it back to the trial couort) for further action.
Your copy of a ticket is just one of many. The officer will have one, the court will have one and the DA's office will have one. If you lose your copy, contact the court or DA's office and request a copy. If you have an attorney, he/she can do it, but make the call yourself and save whatever fee the attorney will charge for this simple request. * You can obtain a copy of the ticket from the office of the clerk of the traffic court in the county in which the ticket was issued. The district attorney's (prosecutor's) office does not handle nor have paperwork for minor cases such as traffic citations.
The four levels of state court are: trial courts (where cases are initially heard), intermediate appellate courts (where decisions from trial courts can be appealed), supreme courts (the highest state court that hears appeals from intermediate appellate courts), and specialty courts (such as family court or probate court that handle specific types of cases). The jurisdiction of each court varies, but generally trial courts have original jurisdiction over most cases, while appellate courts have jurisdiction to review decisions made by trial courts. Speciality courts have jurisdiction over specific types of cases assigned to them.
File an appeal with the US Court of Appeals for that circuit.

Be careful, if you file in small claims court and it is removed, you will lose the right to trial by jury.
He can try, but with no proof, he will lose the case. They usually don't go to trial with no proof.

When I received my Guilty verdict for a Trial by Declaration, I was automatically granted traffic school and given a date by which I had to pay the additional court fee and complete my traffic school session. Best if you call your local court and confirm.
Whether the victim shows up or not has nothing to do with you. If you are in court, you almost certainly have been arrested already. If the victim doesn't show up at the trial (in court) then the state may lose their case against you.
That means you are breaking the law by breaking the court order and you can lose custody if you do not change.
You will almost certainly lose the case by default. Can you hire a lawyer to appear in court for you?
