Looking for a bit of advice, to cut a long story short I witnessed a crime at my old employment and I gave a statement but it was never signed. (Detective said they would type it up and then bring it back to me to sign). I no longer work there and my correspondence with the detective at the time was all saved to my old work email which I no longer have access to. It was so long ago, I don't remember what was written nor do I remember what the person who committed the crime looks like.
I've since had letters to attend court, the first one I spoke to them and declined (it just said you "may" be required to attend court). And now because they have pleaded not guilty, it is going to trial in the next couple of months.
I don't even know what the charges were against them. It is also conveniently on my birthday and I will be away at the time.
I have not received a summons but a letter to say I'm required to attend, can I decline again?
