2. Why didn't they call witnesses?

From Judge Ostrager’s ruling mentioned in the article:

The office of the Attorney General produced no testimony from any investor who claimed to have been misled by any disclosure, even though the Office of the Attorney General had previously represented it would call such individuals as trial witnesses, he added.

What happened to the witnesses? Why didn’t they testify?

I can hardly believe the state’s AG would bring a case without investor witnesses. And this was ruling was with prejudice? Can’t bring the same case again?!
