    Default Contempt of Court By A Witness

    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.

    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.
