Absolutely no evidence at all because it didn't even happen. I'm just wondering so I know what to expect. I was charged with terroristic threat.

If there are no witnesses, the case will be dismissed. But, if they have been served with a subpoena and they do not show up, the State can ask for them to be picked up and brought to court.

If you have set it for trial and they do not show up to testify, it will more than likely be dismissed. You should discuss this with possibility with your defense attorney to determine whether the State can make its case with or without the complaining witness. Good luck.
