>> As a consequence, neither in this country nor in England has the suspect under investigation by the grand jury ever been thought to have a right to testify or to have exculpatory evidence presented.

Scalia's comment was precisely correct. The prosecutor makes those decisions.

You evidently don't understand the meaning of the term "right", or how a grand jury operates at all.

Perhaps it is a little too abstract for you. But the "right" to testify comes in to play ONLY if Wilson wanted to testify but was not allowed to do so. The prosecutor makes that call; the prosecutor can put on all evidence or none. It is up to him. Period.

This is one of those things that, since it doesn't align with your ideological beliefs, you'll never understand it. Neither will CJ or tejek. Because for you, partisanship is more important that justice.
