Criminal prosecution is instituted by the Dist. Atty. or similar person in position (states label this title as state attorney, solicitor, etc.), or any deputy state attorney. When a person has been arrested for crime, criminal action is commenced. The law enforcement agency will review the evidence and present it to the prosecuting attorney, who decides what charges he will file against the defendant.
