If you do not yet have an attorney, you shold get one. Though what happens in the grand jury room is secret and not disclosed to the public, your attorney should be able to get a copy of what was said because of full disclosure laws in order to defend you properly. If you can't afford an attorney, you should ask the court to appoint one for you. In short, the state can't withhold evidence revealed to the grand jury if that evidence will be ued against you for prosecution by the state. Again, get an attorney.
