Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

A relative has received a subpeona to appear for a trial as a witness for the DA in Colorado Springs, CO (did a Meth Lab posting for El Paso County, CO). This relative has been subpeonaed 3 or 4 times times and this trial has been postponed all of those times since 2007. This relative recently moved to SC from Colorado is now retired and does not have the means to pay for travel back to CO for this trial on 2/22/11. There is a possibility that this trial may be postponed again.What can we do?

The DA my relative spoke to in CO Springs stated that they expect him to be at the trial and expect him to pay for his own travel and expenses.

Any advice would be appreciated.
