What is a Missing Witness Charge in a NY Medical Malpractice Trial? 516-487-8207 Email: Gerry@Oginski-Law What is a Missing Witness Charge? This is a legal instruction by the judge telling the jury that since the defense has failed to bring in a necessary witness, that the jury can now infer that this witness would have been harmful to the defenses position. Before the judge makes a decision about whether or not to give the specific legal instruction about a witness that was not produced at trial, the judge will want to know from the attorney who had control over this witness why the doctor is not in court testifying. Only if the judge determines that the attorneys reason and explanation was either not believable or not valid will the judge agree to give a missing witness charge to the jury during his legal instructions.
