Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether the presumption of innocence, the right to confrontation, and the right to a fair trial permit a court to allow the grand jury prosecutor to take the stand and offer such testimony.
2. Whether the admission of such prosecutorial testimony constitutes structural error or, instead, is subject to harmless error review.
3. Whether a reviewing court's conclusion that the evidence at trial supports the defendant's convictions even excluding the grand jury prosecutor's testimony meets the State's burden of proving harmless error beyond a reasonable doubt.
