the "Grand Jury" is a prosecutor's tool to be able to "charge" someone with a crime when LEO is not present to do so (along with a local/state/federal prosecutor) when the alleged crime happens. So the accused is actually not involved in any "defense".

The obvious bigger event is the actual trial (and in some cases, pre-trial motions to a court) to determine whether the charges are valid.
