Are witnesses for grand jury heard before defendant trial date?

Yes, typically witnesses are called to testify before a grand jury prior to the defendant's trial date. The purpose of the grand jury is to evaluate the evidence and determine whether there is sufficient cause to bring charges against the defendant. The witness testimony is used to gather information and establish probable cause for the charges.
