This is a really interesting analysis. Clearly there’s no crisp language that would force her to. It seems like it would be surprising if they don’t at least ask her to; yes there’s a risk of making her hostile, but (a) it seems like she’s going to be hostile to the prosecution anyway and (b) the risk of her dismissing the case before it goes to jury is just too great.
I guess we’ll see.
