If a victim witness does not show up after being subpeona'd and the judge holds her in contempt and fines her a sum of money..is this a misdemeanor and does it come on her record as a conviction?

Whether or not it is a criminal offense depends upon whether she was charged with civil contempt (which was probably the case) or criminal contempt.
in either or both cases does it show up on the record..as a misdemenor..she didnt show up for a domestic violence case for which she was victim witness..judge fined her but thats about it..
As I said, whether or not it is a criminal offense depends upon whether she was charged with civil contempt (which was probably the case) or criminal contempt.
