You're confusing me here, OBE.
I thought the defendant will only be allowed to answer questions that the prosecution asks in the GJ hearing.
Are you saying he will be given the opportunity to lay out his version of what happened, second by second?
I apologize for any confusion. If he testifies I'm sure the DA will ask him questions which may let him explain what was in his mind at the time.
Also the grand jurors are allowed to ask their questions of any witness called to testify. Imo it would make logical sense when asked certain questions by either the DA or jurors he would be able to answer all questions explaining what happened according to him, and whathis state of mind was at the time causing him to do certain things.
Imo it will be similiar as to when Officer Wilson willingly testified truthfully in his grand jury in Ferguson. He was able to tell the jury what transpired, and why he felt the shooting of Mike Brown was justified.
That is if OR decides to testify. He may not.
