Courtroom accusation lawyers
Prosecuting attorneys are lawyers who represent the government in criminal cases, seeking to prove defendants guilty of crimes.
In the U.S., they may be called district attorneys, state's attorneys, or at the federal level, U.S. attorneys.
The prosecuting attorney presented evidence to the grand jury.
The role contrasts with defense attorneys, who represent the accused.
