Does anyone have any experience with this? Does a grand jury hear a potential murder or manslaughter case a WEEK after the death?

How could the prosecutor possibly process all the evidence so quickly?

It just seems like this is meant to placate a mob.

There is usually a grand jury "sitting" all the time, and yes, prosecutors do bring evidence before them quickly. There are statutory time limits between arrest and indictment, and if the indictment doesn't come, the suspect must be released.

The timing between incident and indictment is generally a factor of sufficiency of evidence. If there isn't much evidence, then there is delay.

Yep.

They won’t even have all the autopsy results in to present.

No matter. Facts are irrelevant.
