Cal. Penal Code § 939.7 — Conduct of Investigations is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
The grand jury is not required to hear evidence for the defendant, but it shall weigh all the evidence submitted to it, and when it has reason to believe that other evidence within its reach will explain away the charge, it shall order the evidence to be produced, and for that purpose may require the district attorney to issue process for the witnesses.
