"Moreover, affirming this conviction would condone the prosecutor�s improper conduct at the grand jury. As shown in the above-quoted testimony, Brewington attempted to explain his answer further, but Mr. Negangard cut him off. Brewington was not allowed to further explain himself or qualify his response in any way. Mr. Negangard controlled the testimony at the grand jury proceedings. He should not be permitted to extract a statement without context and then use it to prosecute the witness for perjury. The purpose of the grand jury is to seek the truth. It is not a �gotcha� game. Mr. Negangard�s tactics left Brewington�s testimony incomplete, and not necessarily what Brewington intended to say.[3] The State should not be able to prosecute Brewington on the basis of his incomplete response when the State was responsible for it being incomplete."
