QUESTION

More details to this question:
I am being called to testify in a felony stalking case. I have no pertinent information regarding the case. I've told the DA investigator that already. I was emailed the subpoena on Friday, then they want me to drop everything and be in court on Thursday. The trial is in another county, a five hour drive one way. If I wasn't properly served, do I still have to go?

Mail subpoenas are not valid unless the receipt acknowledges receipt (usually by calling back).
