As I understand it, the procedure is anytime someone dies from an incident (not natural causes),it goes in front of the Grand Jury. They will be guided by Castle Doctrine and (hopefully) will not tell the DA to prosecute. IANAL, the exact phrasing of the Grand Jury process is obviously more complicated. Without Castle Doctrine, the GJ will almost always refer it to the DA.

That makes sense.  There will be times, unfortunately, when people claim they used deadly force in the name of the Castle Doctrine, but their actions were not supported by the law.

I would have thought though that it would have ended with the police, city attorney, or DA.
