Yes you can. However, your turn comes after the prosecution has closed its evidence.

Surname do not make any difference in proving or disproving the case.
Why did you not contact and consult your lawyer contesting your case for the last 18 years ?
When the case is on "hearing" stage, how come PP accept or reject a witness ?
Why do you need second opinion, except the fact it is available FREE OF COST, when you have engaged an able, competent and intelligent lawyer who have been successful in dragging the case for 18 years
