It's the DA's job to say whether they can prove charges in court. Whether they are confident that they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person committed the crime and that it was not in self-defense (if we're talking homicide). Well, technically speaking it is the job of the grand jury to decide that but the 5th Amendment hasn't been fully invested, but that's another conversation again.
You say people should have to "explain it in court." That's not how our legal system works, though. The approach you're taking on this one is coming from an assumption of guilt, seemingly regardless of the evidence.
