I do have to go along with you on your opinion of the prosecutors- For seemingly smart guys, they were imbeciles. They trotted out their whole case, witness testimony, strategy and everything at a Preliminary Hearing, before trial, before a jury was empaneled- They showed the defense ALL of their cards, and what's worse, by insisting on a full showing of witnesses and evidence, they opened the door to the defense to refute it all in detail, line by line, before trial, in front of a sympathetic judge, and it resulted in not only an adverse decision but there was a full transcript which the later Grand Jury got to read and digest in minute detail, which resulted in them No billing the presentment. The prosecution in this case made damn near every mistake in the book and added a chapter or two. Even if there were enough evidence to get a jury to convict later- and there wasn't- the shooting was 100% justified- The prosecution's mistakes could even have sunk a real murder case conviction had they screwed up like this, in say the Bisbee massacre trial.
