Re: kinda being a witness to a crime

Whether you have to go to court depends on whether you got a subpoena. If so, then you have to show up. If you did not get a subpoena, then you do not have to go to court. You might want to call the prosecutor and let them know that you do not remember anything. If you do testify, it is okay to say that you do not remember if you don't.
