In a criminal case, the prosecutor is the attorney representing the government who presents (i.e.: prosecutes) the case against the defendant in an attempt to prove him guilty of the charges for which he was arrested. The attorney representing the accused is the "defense" attorney.

In a civil case there is no "prosecutor" only an attorney representing the aggrieved party (i.e.: the plaintiff) and the attorney representing the

defendant/respondant who is the one being sued.

A prosecutor is the government's attorney in a criminal case who represents the people, such as a District Attorney, States Attorney, U.S. Attorney, Attorney General, Solicitor General, or special prosecutor.

A prosecutor may investigate certain criminal offenses on his own initiative, or at the request of a government officer or government body.
