If you look at the warrant, indictment or other paperwork,it reads the State of Georgia v. YOU, not the VICTIM v. YOU. The victim is a witness for the prosecutor, not the prosecutor. If the witness fails to appear in court, the case will be dismissed. However, the prosecutor, in looking at the case or your record may put pressure on the witness to appear in court. Good luck
