A grand jury witness can expect to answer questions from the prosecutor and defense attorney. They may also have to answer questions from the judge.
They answer questions put to them by the prosecutor in charge of the grand jury and occasionally, answer questions from members of the grand jury itself.

No.
Possibly. You could also be a witness that they want information from.
Yes. If it goes to a grand jury, it must be decided by the grand jury whether or not to indict before a criminal court case is even scheduled. If the grand jury does not agree to indict, there will be no court case.
A grand jury statement charging a crime typically includes evidence such as witness testimonies, physical evidence, documents, and any other relevant information that supports the accusation of a crime.
Grand jury testimony is generally protected by secrecy, meaning that it cannot be used directly in civil court. However, if a witness voluntarily discloses their grand jury testimony outside of the grand jury proceedings, that information may be admissible in civil court. Additionally, if the testimony relates to issues in a civil case, it could potentially influence the proceedings indirectly. Ultimately, the specifics can vary based on jurisdiction and the circumstances of the case.
The grand jury does not convict anyone of anything. The grand jury hears the evidence presented by the prosecutor. If the grand jury thinks the prosecutor has adequate evidence, then the grand jury indicts that person. A trial will then be held before a petite jury, or small jury. It is that jury that determines if someone will get the death penalty.
Grand Jury Européen was created in 1996.
People are not convicted by the grand jury. The grand jury only listens to the evidence to see if there is enough for an indictment.
In a grand jury investigation, evidence is collected by prosecutors who present it to the grand jury. The grand jury then decides if there is enough evidence to bring charges against a suspect. The process is confidential and the grand jury's decision is based on a majority vote.
When referring to a particular grand jury (i.e.: The Essex County Grand Jury), yes. When simply just referring to grand juries in general no, it is not necessary.
