    Can the d.a. take me to trial if the accuser refused to testify at both preliminarys
    I am accused of felony domestic violence. My wife took the fifth at the first preliminary. The d.a. dismissed and refiled the case and at the secound preliminary they tried to give her immunity and she refused and was held in contempt of court. My trial readyness is in a few days. There are no witnesses against me other than the police officers who took her report and the nine one one call.
