If its the only witness in the case and the Prosecution has no other evidence to prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt on every element of the crime you're charged with, you can ask for a dismissal. If the Judge does grant your dismissal, it will probably be dismissed without prejudice- meaning that the Prosecution can re-charge you later.
