Re: grand jury hearings
A person can request to present evidence to the Grand Jury, but they can turn down the request. Also, no attorney worth his salt would ever advise a potential defendant to testify before the grand jury. For the most part, the grand jury is a rubber stamp for the Commonwealth.
