Re: what will be the outcome
I can't give you a formal legal opinion without knowing more about the facts, and even then, I could only talk probabilities. I can say this much to you: The government needs live witnesses to proceed. If no eye-witnesses appear in court, the government would have an extremely difficult time making out a case.
I will also tell you that many counties in Pennsylvania have diversion programs for first-timers charged with this sort of offense. Very often the government would agree to withdraw the charges if you went to some counseling or if there were no further problems over the next few months.
Good luck.
