To introduce a witness in court, the attorney should first state the witness's name and their relationship to the case. The attorney should then ask the witness to take an oath to tell the truth. After that, the attorney can begin questioning the witness to elicit relevant information and testimony.

What happens if a signed witness does not show up to court for a criminal case?

If anyone has been subpoenaed (summoned) to appear in court and fails to do so, they can be held in contempt. This applies to defendants as well as witnesses. If a witness fails to appear, the court can dismiss the case or continue it to a later date when the witness' attendance is more likely. Which one will occur depends on the seriousness of the charge and whether it is likely the witness can be located and compelled to appear. The court can also decide to move forward on the case without the witness, if their testimony is not crucial to either side's case.

The word 'Testimony' comes from the Latin root word 'testi' which means witness, i.e, one who testifies in court is one who serves as a witness.

If there is a missing witness signature on the will does it make it completely invalid?

It depends on how many witness signatures there are, most places require at least two. If there is more than one copy, and the witness remembers signing one of the copies, they can attest to that in court, but that can be suspect in trying to prove that the one they signed was identical to the one being presented.If it was a typed will, there could be a problem, particularly if someone contests the will. If no one contests the will, the executor can use it to distribute the estate.
