The hearing process is an adversarial one, in which both parties may present witnesses for the court's consideration. It does not guarantee that you'll receive the resolution that you want or that justice always prevails.

As for your sentence, a withold simply means that points will not be assessed to your license. Had you simply paid the ticket, you would likely have been worse off. In the future, I recommend you hire an attorney.
