public prosecutors
Government's criminal lawyers
Public prosecutors are government attorneys who bring criminal cases on behalf of the state.
They decide whether to file charges, present evidence at trial, and seek convictions.
In the United States, they may be called district attorneys, state's attorneys, or U.S. attorneys depending on jurisdiction.
The public prosecutor offered a plea deal to avoid a lengthy trial.
