                              CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
                                  CHAPTER 11
                       POWERS AND DUTIES OF GRAND JURY
    19-1105.  EVIDENCE RECEIVABLE BY GRAND JURY. In the investigation of a
charge for the purpose of either presentment or indictment, the grand jury can
receive any evidence that is given by witnesses produced and sworn before them
except as hereinafter provided, furnished by legal documentary evidence, the
deposition of a witness in the cases provided by this code or legally
admissible hearsay. No witness whose testimony has been taken and reduced to
writing on a preliminary examination must be subpoenaed or required to appear
before the grand jury, until such testimony has been first submitted to and
considered by the grand jury, but if such testimony has been lost or cannot be
found, or if the grand jury after considering the same still desires the
presence of any such witnesses, they may be subpoenaed.
