grand jury
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.
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.
The COURT doesn't decide to hear a case based on evidence, the evidence only needs to convince the Prosecutor that a crime occurred, then HE brings the case to court for prosecution.

Yes, you can request to have a judge assigned specifically for an ex parte hearing, which is a legal proceeding where only one party is present.
Because you can only change the present not the past.
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.
Generally not. The prosecution is in the hands of the prosecutor, and only the prosecution can decide to drop or pursue a case.
The judge decided the prosecution's new evidence was not relevant to the case. Other words that mean relevant are admissible, germane, congruent, and related.
Fingerprints alone are typically not enough evidence for conviction as they only prove that a person was present at a certain location. Other evidence, such as eyewitness testimony, DNA evidence, or surveillance footage, is usually needed to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
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.
