Does the prosecutor represent the victim in a given case?
No. Prosecutors in the DA’s Office represent the people of Salt Lake County. Although the interests of the victim and the public are often aligned, the prosecutor’s job is to ensure that justice is served. Therefore, while the prosecutor is sensitive to the needs and requests of victims, the ultimate decision regarding the outcome of a case lies with the discretion of the assigned prosecutor.
