How is there claims of self defense if there are no charges? I’ve seen videos of someone being arrested and the LEO telling that person to tell it to the judge or whatever.
Person is responsible for dead bodies. This is not normal. Person should be charged for making those bodies dead. Court system then does it’s part to decide the guilt or innocence for why those bodies are dead and any extenuating circumstances.
If there is sufficient evidence that there is a crime, yes. Otherwise, no. Your position is antithetical to the very foundations of our legal system dating back hundreds of years. It is the state's job to prove your guilt, not your job to prove your innocence. If the state cannot meet a minimum burden of proof then no charges should be filed in the first place, ever.

No, what they get to do is decide if there is sufficient evidence to charge a person with a crime in the first place. This is done in order to prevent exactly what you advocate for, dragging obviously, or even likely, innocent people through the criminal court process. You are starting to get, though, why a corrupt DA, such as we currently have in L.A., San Francisco, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Chicago can have a very destructive impact on a community and cause crime rates to soar. Once you start treating the position as a platform for enforcing an ideology instead of the law you run into a lot of problems.
