OAG 82-459 is cited to discuss a previous opinion regarding the Commonwealth's Attorney's authority to limit the appearance of witnesses before the grand jury. The decision clarifies that while the prosecutor has a central role in presenting evidence, they do not have the authority to prevent the grand jury from hearing witnesses they wish to hear. This citation is used to contrast with the current situation where the Commonwealth's Attorney is dealing with a private citizen trying to present evidence directly to the grand jury without going through the proper channels.
