I was served with a subpoena once to go in as a witness to a drunk driving incident that I witnessed.

I showed up at the scheduled time and was told that the trial was moved to another day and that whoever served me with the subpoena should have told me that.

I got the new date and showed up on that day, too, only to be told again that the trial was moved and no one let me know.

Finally, I showed up on the third trial date and went to the courtroom. The clerk or the judge asked if I had any business there and I told her what trial I was there for as a witness. She said ok and asked me to wait outside.

I waited outside the courtroom on a bench for about 2 1/2 hours before the crown prosecutor came out and said the defence had the case thrown out because of some issue of disclosure. Thanks for my time. The arresting officer who was sitting beside me just shrugged and said, "Most of the time, that's how these things go."
