I received a subpoena to appear in court and I dont have any idea why I was subpoenaed. Can the DA help me?
People who are subpoenaed as witnesses may have seen or heard things that occurred before or after a crime has occurred or may have seen only part of the events surrounding a crime. Your testimony when added to the testimony of other witnesses may be important to explain how or why a crime occurred or may be a link between the crime and the suspect. If your subpoena was issued by the DA you may call the Witness Coordination Office and ask to speak to the Deputy DA assigned to the case. The Witness Coordination staff will obtain some identifying information from you when you call and will keep in touch with you to let you know if the subpoena is cancelled or if the day or time of your appearance needs to be changed. It is always a good idea to call the Witness Coordination office at (209) 468-2422 the day before you are scheduled to appear in case there has been a change in the date or time that your are needed for testimony.
