Ok, you’re point there isn’t lost on me. However, the DA would still have to find some sort of probable cause of a crime being committed before the ability to send to a grand jury. This is my problem with sending all shootings over to the populace because some shooters haven’t broken the law. Many states don’t even convene a grand jury except to look at crimes. If Texas law sends all cases involving a shooting to a grand jury then they’ve skipped the step of whether there should even be one in the first place. I’m not arguing why grand juries are necessary, even though they’ve become rubber stamping, “ham sandwich indicting” bodies for the prosecution, but rather non screened citizens shouldn’t be looking at citizens who haven’t committed a crime.
