"If the accused is not acquitted under Section 232, he shall be required to present his defense and produce any supporting evidence. If he submits a written statement, the Judge shall place it on record. Additionally, if the accused requests the issuance of a process to compel the attendance of a witness or the production of a document or object, the Judge shall grant the request unless he determines, with recorded reasons, that the application is intended to cause delay, vexation, or obstruct the course of justice."
