Every jurisdiction must give the accused a right to face his accuser. Therefore the victim of a crime MUST appear in court to give testimony. There are a few rare exceptions for situations in which the examination and opportunity to cross-examine are done before trial in a criminal trial. These may occur if the witness is unlikely to appear at trial, in other words to die before trial. The defendant must have an opportunity to be present at these proceedings. The state and/or the defense can and do force eyewitnesses and victims of crimes to testify at trial. This is done ALL THE TIME. Either side (or the judge, for that matter) can subpoena (that is get a court order) to bring witnesses into court. You can be arrested and held until you testify or until it is decided you are not needed in the proceedings.

What is armed robbery and who is an armed robber?

If you steal something with your arms (and hands) then you are an armed robber. Armed robbery is when you steal from somebody using your arms to carry what you steal. No its not. Armed robbery is when you use force or a weapon to gain access into someones home, which in that case has to be when someone is home in order to inflict intimidation upon to gain access. Someone who is an armed robber would be someone who chooses to rob a home while someone is there by way of force, intimidation, and/or with a weapon. A "robbery" is committed when one person gains possession or control of another person's property by force or the threat of force. The robbery is "armed" when the threat of force involves an actual or implied weapon.
