Can a prosecution witness be re-called to testify after the defense?
The prosecution cannot call witnesses after it closes its case (prima-facie break), it can only cross-examine witnesses called by the defense. If the proseution attempts to call a witness not on its witness list before it closes its case, the defense should object. Basic court procedure means that the Prosecution must go first and show its case, then close its case, and then it is the defense's turn; the question as presented is a violation of the normal procedures used in court.
Do witness statements fall in place with facts in a court case?
Witness statements (usually given to the police during the investigation stage) are used to build the case against the defendant.

While on the stand both the prosecution and the defense will have the opportunity to question them, as well as refer to the original statements they made to the police.

You were subpoena as a victim to court your boyfriend hit you?
Too many variables to answer the question. How serious was the assault? What was he charged with? Were there witnesses to it? What (if any) is his criminal record? (it would have a bearing on the severity of the prosecution) If you were served with a subpoena to testify as a witness, I suggest that you appear as directed. If not, the judge COULD issue a warrant for your arrest and compel you to appear.
