Show up and answer questions to the best of your ability. Tell the truth and be accurate about what you did or did not see or witness. Let the grand jury sort out the details.

Normally, as a witness before a grand jury, the prosecutor will be the only one asking you questions, although in some jurisdictions the jurors get to ask questions as well. You'll be under oath, so naturally you have to tell the truth. You might want to try to contact the prosecutor first and make sure he/she understands that you may not know anything.

When you go in front of the grand jury, you are expected to give your version of whatever transpired. Just take a deep breath, relax, and tell the truth.

A little warning, you may be grilled by the defense. So just stick to your story whatever it is.

They will expect you to be honest. That is all you can do.
