Will I go to jail if I was subpoenaed to show as a victum to the county of volusia
office Of the states attorney
Answer
In theory, yes. As a practical matter, it rarely happens. Since there is a slight chance, you should talk to an attorney in Volusia county to help you.
Answer
It is very unlikely that the State would seek to hold a victim in contempt and have them arrested if they don't come to court. Most of the time if they fail to come to court then the charges are dropped because the State can't prosecute the case without the victim.
That being said, it is possible. If the charges are severe enough then the State may decide that it is worth it to seek contempt on a victim so the defendant doesn't get off scot free.
