A prosecuting lawyer, lets break this down.

Defintion of prosecuting: 1.To seek to obtain or enforce by legal action

2. To initiate civil or criminal court action against

So to prosecute means to seek and initiate civil court action and enforcement by legal action.

Now, Lawyer:

Defintion of lawyer: 1. One whose profession is to give legal advice and assistance to clients and represent them in court or in other legal matters

I think that is very clear. Now to combine them....

Definition of a prosecuting lawyer: 1. A lawyer empowered to prosecute cases on behalf of a government and its people

so a prosecuting lawyer is the lawyer who proves people are guilty and helps sentence them to a crime.

Answer:

A Prosecuting Lawyer is someone who tries to prove a suspect guilty of a crime so the suspect can go to prison or whatever the sentence is.
