The prosecutor is the attorney who represents the federal, state or local government in a case against a criminal defendant. The prosecutor generally decides what charges will be filed against the defendant, and what plea agreement, if any, will be offered to the defendant. The prosecutor will try the case on behalf of the government if it goes to trial. In some prosecutor’s offices these functions may be handled by different attorneys.

The prosecutor has the public duty to punish those committing crimes, balanced with the duty to fairly try such individuals.
