Prosecutor
Role Clarification
Not all prosecutors are public officials; some may be private individuals in certain legal systems.

In the private prosecution, the individual prosecutor took the case to court.
Not Defense Attorney
The prosecutor is different from a defense attorney, whose job is to defend the accused.

While the prosecutor argued for a conviction, the defense attorney countered for an acquittal.
Neutral vs. Aggressive
Though prosecutors accuse, they must remain fair and impartial, not just aggressively seek convictions.

The prosecutor fairly presented the evidence without undue aggression.
