More details to this question:
Today, my mother sent me a picture of subpoena paper work from the deputy prosecuting office. I will be picking them up soon. I know it may sound stupid but I am not one to snitch on a friend. The attorneys and judge know that I have information that will prove my friend is guilty. How likely is it that I would get a warrant out on me for not showing up? Also, how much time would I receive? I'm 17 years old.

100% on warrant. Can keep you in jail until judge decides otherwise, i.e., a long time. You can take the stand and refuse to answer their questions.
