Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
My husband was a security guard at the time of a shooting and has been asked to show up to be a witness. This incident occured a year and a half ago and he went to one hearing and was just sent home. No testifying. Since it was so long ago he doesnt remember much since he hasnt testified at all. What is his legal responsiblity not that he is labeled as a \"witness\"? Can he get off as a witness? What happens if he doesnt show up?

He needs to show up. The judge most likely told him at the last hearing that he needed to show up or a bench warrant would be issued (basically an arrest warrant issued by a judge). I don't think your husband wants to deal with a bench warrant.
He should just show up and tell the truth. If he truly can't remember he should say so.
