Well, FV is serious, and can be complicated.  Two Misdemeanor FV's will turn into felony.  The State obviously has picked up the case, which means your input about whether or not to press charges means nothing.  The State or prosecutor is handling all decisions.  Although they may treat you friendly, their job as they see it is to prosecute the offender.  If the subpoena is valid, you are obligated to testify.  You may want your own attorney if you are uncomfortable with what is going on.
