3. Without the no-bill vote, there effectively wasn't a grand jury

The GJ didn't "not indict," the GJ didn't come to any conclusion at all. As such, as with a hung jury, the coast remains clear to empanel another grand jury. The prosecutor probably sensed the vote might not go the way he wanted and was probably hoping nobody would notice, but that no-bill notice has to be filed or there's no record the GJ ever even met as far as the case is concerned.
