If the prosecutor of a criminal case refuses to charge anyone unless there is a witness who can testify to criminal intent, what happens then if the only witness is the attorney of the suspected perpetrator? Does attorney-client privilege still apply?

Then there’s no charges. The attorney is hardly a witness if all they know is what was told to them. That would be hearsay. Hearsay basically means it’s not reliable testimony if all you’re doing is repeating something somebody else said.
