More details to this question:
If you are a victim in a criminal case, do you have to testify if you have filed an affidavit with the police department and another one for non-prosecution with the prosecutor? Are these affidavits considered the same as being "sworn in?"

They are sworn statements but the other side gets the opportunity to cross examine you, so they can make you come testify.
