Hello, I Just recived a "Subpoena for Appearance of Witness" in the mail a couple of days ago, the story is i witnessed 2 boys breaking into a building where i called the police and they shortly arrested them...i requested that i would like to be labeld anonymous and that i would not testify in court if the needed me to. Know i am having to do what i was trying to avoid. i know i Will Be punished for/as contemp of court if i do not attend, so to prevent being charged i have mad the decision to go. But i will not testify. this is where i need some advice, ----How do i let the court know i do not want 2 testify , ----Will i be then punished for not testifying, even though i called the police on these juvinilles.

Thank you.
