Had a case in Mayberry, Utah (Manti, Ut). It went like I thought it would--the witness failed to show so the case was dismissed. So why did he not show up? Because, he was untruthful to the police and didn't want to compound the trouble he caused. It was an assault--only witness was my client and the alleged victim.
The evidence was shoddy but the prosecutor would not listen. I have no doubt my client is innocent. He's the one that got pounded on. I don't like to win this way because the prosecutor is not confronted with his own misjudgment--he can blame it on the witness and not on his own bad decision and go on feeling smug.
