§ 705 District attorney to issue subpoenas for grand jury.

If a grand jury is looking into a case, the district attorney has the power to call witnesses to testify. The district attorney can sign and issue a subpoena, which is a legal order requiring someone to show up and answer questions.

This applies to witnesses who support the state's case. It also applies to any other witnesses the grand jury wants to hear from, even if the district attorney didn't originally plan to call them. The subpoena only works for witnesses located within Oklahoma.

In short, this rule gives the district attorney the authority to bring witnesses before a grand jury, either to help build the case or because the grand jury itself asks for that testimony.
