Pinging all the Constitutionalists out there! Does this open up the Grand Jury proceedings to review by the appellate?

I don't believe so. A Grand Jury can only bring a finding of 'Bill' or 'No Bill' -- referring to a Bill of Particulars wherein the facts as required by law are set out to determine if a charge is valid or not. The Grand Jury does not adjudicate Guilt or Innocence; that power is reserved to the Jury in a valid Court of Law.
