The person who makes the charge is essentially the prime witness for the prosecution. In most cases, the officers didn’t witness it, the prosecutor and judge both do not know for a fact what happened, so therefore they both rely on the witness to come forward. Typically the court will adjourn the matter if the witness doesn’t appear, giving the prosecutor another opportunity for the witness to show up in court. If the witness doesn’t appear for a second time at the new date, the court will likely grant a motion to dismiss the case.
