Damn, I accidentally deleted the post when I went to edit it. You can ask for a piece of a puzzle that seems to be missing. As for the witness part
"jurors may be asked whether they would like to hear any additional witnesses, but since their job is
only to judge what the prosecutor has produced, they rarely ask to do so. "
I read that as they could, but normally choose not to. As for the defendant I also saw where they could subpoena anyone, the issue would be a defendant could refuse on the grounds of not incriminating themselves., but they in theory could give their side if they wanted.
