appear in court.
The accused has a constitutional right (compulsory process / Sixth Amendment) to obtain witnesses in their favor and compel their attendance (subpoena). They do not have a right to ask a witness to testify untruthfully or to go into hiding; whether a witness can refuse to testify depends on privileges (e.g., Fifth Amendment), not on a request by the accused.
