The question isn't whether they would testify, as witnesses to a crime, they would have no choice.
The question is whether you think your roomie likes these people enough to commit perjury and lie about it.
The judge could easily put the responsibility on everyone in attendance if nobody fesses up.

you give people too much credit for being honest and able to accept responsibilty.
all roommate has to say is I dont know what happened. shy of a video of roommate saying "oh crap its scratched" even if he was looking in the tank with the kid you cant prove neglience. or for that matter that without dated pictures of the tank taken as your walknig out the door the damage wasnt done by you.
roommates easiest way out without picking sides is to say he was drinking (im assuming at a superbowl party he was) and it voids his credibility.
I feel bad for you, everyone that comes to my house always grabs the damn magnet regardless how many times they have been told.
Im not sure exactly how I would handle the situation all I know is I'd blow a gasket.
