Which does NOT say that ALL homicides must be presented to the grand jury.XDgal wrote: Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:12 pm Try looking at the fifth amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

It just says if the DA wants an indictment for a felony he has to go to a grand jury to get it. If a DA chooses not to pursue a felony in a homicide case, then he doesn’t have to go to the grand jury.
