If Someone Is Caught Breaking a Protection Order and They Go to Court for That Can the Person Who Needed the P.O. Go to Court to Speak out About the Violation?

Yes, but it depends upon what you mean by “can the person who needed the P.O. go to court to speak out about the violation?”

If the person who needed the P.O. is the source of the evidence needed to establish the violation of the protective order, then not only can that person go to court to speak out about the violation, that person will likely be welcomed to court to speak out about the violation, even compelled (by a subpoena) to go to court to speak out about the violation.

If the person who needed the P.O. is not the source of the evidence needed to establish the violation of the protective order, then that person can still go to the courthouse and attend/observe the court proceedings for prosecution of the alleged violation.
