Not in person. She should speak with the prosecutor handling the prosecution of the case. ONLY the prosecutor gets to decide what they will present to a Grand Jury in order to gain an indictment.

A prosecution could be made unreliable if the only evidence for the case comes from witness testimony. Many times witnesses lack sufficient details when they are testifying.
Should evidence be admitted in a prosecution's opening statements?
Evidence is never admitted during the opening statement, and the judges usually admonish the jury specifically that opening statements are only argument and not evidence. However, prosecutors will often show to the jury some evidence that they intend to introduce during the trial, but if for some reason that evidence is not introduced during the trial, the defendant can move for a mistrial at the close of the prosecution's case.
What type of evidence must be shown to convince court to hear case?

What is the difference between testimonial and physical evidence?
Evidence in criminal law is any item or testimony that assists in the proof of a prosecution or defense. It can be a weapon, a document, forensic samples or the testimony of a witness, and both sides of a criminal case are allowed to present evidence to the court for consideration. Real evidence is physical evidence, such as a gun, a fingerprint, a photograph, or DNA machine, different from testimonial evidence because it not physical object only is the testimony of a witness.

What evidence convicted Scott Peterson for the crime he committed?
Scott Peterson was convicted in 2005 of murdering his pregnant wife Laci in 2002. He remains on Death Row in 2017, although appeals continue. The circumstantial evidence and the attempts to dispose of the body supported the prosecution's theory of her murder. There was only tenuous physical evidence to suggest Scott as her killer. For a complete and comprehensive rundown of the case, see the related link.
Are there any downsides to DNA evidence?
There are a few downsides to DNA evidence: It has been suggested that the prominence of DNA evidence on TV shows has caused juries to expect irrefutable DNA evidence before convicting someone. This may be a problem if other forms of evidence are ignored. DNA evidence can only be obtained in instances where biological substances are left behind or exchanged. This only occurs in a minority of cases. DNA evidence sometimes only proves that the person was present at the scene - it does not always prove guilt. However, if a person's DNA is found at the scene, this may be perceived as proof that they committed the crime.
Did burden of proof on the issue of causation rests on the prosecution?
No. The prosecution only has to prove that you COMMITTED the offense. The issue of WHY (the cause) you did it is not a prosecutorial responsibility.
