In preliminary proceedings can a defense attorney also call witnesses before a grand jury? |

Answer
A Grand Jury only hears witnesses brought forth by the prosecutor. The defense attorney(s) and defendant(s) are not present at the hearing. Witnesses are not allowed to have their attorney present, but may excuse themselves to confer with legal counsel outside of the hearing/court room.

What is a preliminary trial? Does the defense get heard in a grand jury meeting? The rights to remain silentto confront witnesses against him to call witnesses in his own behalf?
