The State Grand Jury will investigate the case. The grand Jury hearing a case for indictment only gets to hear what is presented in most cases, but occasionally the defense is allowed to present, that is rare as the witnesses can be unpredictable. However, a Grand Jury investigation is a totally separate matter and the grand jury interviews whoever they believe to have information they need.

The problem with a grand jury is they only get the evidence the Prosecutor decides they should get. There must be a Prosecutor who can be trusted.

What is the purpose of a grand jury, sir?

Are you suggesting the prosecutor should walk in and assume the role of defense counsel?

The defendant will get a day in court for that .. if the prosecutor's evidence convinces a grand jury to issue an indictment.

Never met a prosecutor who would walk into a grand jury, knowing sufficient exculpatory evidence existed for the suspect to beat the charge. That would be a bit silly wouldn't it?

Has nothing to do with any prosecutor's integrity, Kenneth .. nothing ... not at a grand jury.

You're allowing others to do your thinking for you, i.e. the media.

Does that make any sense to you?
