1. Cooper can't even have his OWN lawyer in the Grand Jury room |
|
Cooper can talk about what he's said, but aside from the prosecution, lawyers aren't present.

2. No...but the witness can come out and talk to the lawyer |
|
outside the grand jury room and ask him questions before answering. At least that's how it used to be.

4. You HAVE to give up your constituional rights before a grand jury and |
|
this is completely immoral...you cannot have representation, if you do not answer any questions you can be imprisoned.
grand juries are unconstituional in themselves.

stephanopolis gives an account of his first Grand Jury testimony and he explicitly says that the lawyers had to stay outside the court room. (Yes I just read All Too Human)
