Code of Virginia - Title 19.2 Criminal Procedure - Section 19.2-215.6 Role and presence of special counsel; examination of witnesses

§ 19.2-215.6. Role and presence of special counsel; examination of witnesses

Special counsel may be present during the investigatory stage of a multi-jurisdiction grand jury proceeding and may examine any witness who is called to testify or produce evidence. The examination of a witness by special counsel shall in no way affect the right of any grand juror to examine the witness.

Special counsel, however, may not be present at any time during the deliberations of a multi-jurisdiction grand jury except when the grand jury requests the legal advice of special counsel as to specific questions of law.
