The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Wiseman, 1993 WL 118176, 991 F.2d 804 (9th Cir. 1993):
The defendants claim that certain exculpatory evidence was not presented to the grand jury. However, courts have no authority under their inherent supervisory powers to mandate that prosecutors present exculpatory evidence to the grand jury. United States v. Williams, 112 S.Ct. 1735, 1736 (1992).
