It depends on relevant legislation in the area where you live.

Frequently, if it's not your employer's fault you were subpoenaed, they don't have to pay you. If it is their fault, you can probably sue for lost wages. Depending on the circumstances of the case you've been subpoenaed to attend, the court system or another party might reimburse you on application.

It would make good sense for your employer to pay your wages, even if the law doesn't require them to do so; even if they choose not to, they should at least be cooperative about your taking time off to attend court.

If they are unhelpful towards you in this case, take it as a warning they'll be similarly thoughtless of your personal circumstances during future employment with them. You might want to keep an eye on the job ads.

How do you deduct wages earned but not paid?

If the wages were not paid to you, then you didn't pay any taxes on them. You already got your deduction, you can't have a second one. If you are saying that your employer put wages on your W-2 that he didn't pay you, then ask your employer for a corrected W-2.

Can you receive termination pay and severance pay?

The payment of the employee's final wages is different from severance pay. Final wages are mandated by law to be paid -- an employee who is discharged must be paid all of his or her wages, including accrued vacation, immediately at the time of termination. On the other hand, severance pay is a special form of compensation from the employer. There is no law requiring an employer to offer or provide such. So in case of termination, the employee may receive both his final wages as well as a severance pay package (if provided by the employer).
