His mum, his dad and his sister were subpoenaed, asked to come and testify in front of the grand jury.
And the argument put forward by David's dad for why they won't is that there's been a violation of his due process rights because certain details of the case were redacted and he filed a writ.
Oh God, I think I'm going to get this wrong.
A writ under habeas corpus.
That is legalese to the max, Sean.
Can you just break down what that actually means?
And what exactly is due process rights?
Is that where you get all the information?
So gathering from that, if David had made the argument, it would have stuck a little better than his dad making it.
And I want to say it's not a foregone conclusion that charges are coming against David.
Nobody has been charged in this case.
And right now he's an innocent man, innocent until proven guilty.
I mean, that is the standard.
You've said being referred to as the target could indicate that something is coming.
But right now we just don't know.
And a lot of that centers around charges.
I don't want to say the mystery of the case because that makes it sound like this is some narrative.
It's completely uncomfortable that we have no details here.
And I know the family have spoken out and called for more transparency.
The sealing of the medical records, the sealing of the cause of death has been a key point of tension.
