Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

I have a criminal case pending in the state of California. My mother is down as the "victim" because they are trying to say I used her personal information to commit a crime. She lives in Colorado and she does not want to testify but the prosecution has been hounding her. She just got served with a subpoena to the district court of Colorado to provide testimony. What will she be testifying in Colorado district court when the case is in California, and does she have to comply?

A validly served, validly issued, subpoena is a court order to appear. Failure to do so can result in the court holding the person in contempt of court, which can include a sentence of up to six months' imprisonment.

I suspect they want to depose her. I don't know. You need to contact your attorney in California. He/she would know why.
