Are only private attorneys able to prosecute criminal defendants?
It's my understanding the prosecuting attorney represents the people when the accused is brought to court on criminal charges. Private attorney's represent the defendant in arguing why the accused person is not guilty, or if there were mitigating circumstances making circumstances explaining why they did what they did.Additional Information: (in the US) Private attorneys do NOT prosecute criminal cases, they are prosecuted by government attorney's (prosecutors) who do so on behalf of the "people."Defendants are free to retain their own 'private' attorney to represent them or, if indigent, they are afforded the services of the Public Defenders Office (a taxpayer supported agency).
What does a new customer of Sun Trust do when employees mislead and give false answers and supervisors can't help?
The first thing you must do is document the statements that they are telling lies about. Once you have done this you must bring it to your local prosecuting attorney and demand that he/she file criminal fraud charges against Sun Trust. If the prosecutor for your district refuses to prosecute you have a right to bring this evidence to the grand jury for them to hand down an indictment. I suggest that you get someone knowledgeable in the law to assist you at this point. You can recover your losses, both monetary and mental suffering.Another View: First: Private citizens do NOT go directly to a state prosecutor and DEMAND that they bring criminal charges. A citizen can report an alleged offense to law enforcement who will investigate and render a judgment as to whether or not criminal law has been violated. If it has, LAW ENFORCEMENT will bring the case to the prosecutor who will then determine if sufficient evidence exists to prosecute under state law.Further: The above answer assumes that your complaint embodies a criminal element. In actuality, if you have any claim at all, it is most likely a civil matter rather than a criminal one. You will have to consult with a private attorney of your choosing to determine if enough of a case exists to bring suit against the bank.
How long do you have to fill criminal charges against a states attorney for committing perjury?
As a private individual you cannot 'file' criminal charges against anyone. You can attempt to bring the facts to the attention of the prosecutor's superiors - if you can present enough proof, perhaps they will institute a charge of perjury. HOWEVER you can file a civil suit against the prosecutor for false or malicious prosecution.
How do you prosecute an ex correctional officer who continues to break the law?
Unless "you" are the government, you don't. Private citizens cannot "prosecute" anyone. You can make a complaint to the police about it in the hopes that the government will choose to prosecute, but that's about it.
What is the role of a public prosecutor?
Wherever the criminal court, the mission of the public prosecutor is to prosecute in the name of society. The prosecutor's task is to ask for the application of criminal law which explains why the prosecutor is sometimes called 'the society's attorney'. He acts exactly as a party because he is engaged in the trial in the same way as a private party that wants to see its rights recognised. That is why it is interesting to study the specific role of the public prosecutor in front of each ordinary court and then the common missions of the public prosecutor during hearings.Attributions of prosecutors
When dealing with a crime who is taking action against the offender?
In criminal cases, the District Attorney's office decides who to prosecute, and then does the prosecution. This is opposed to civil cases, in which a private citizen is suing and hires a private lawyer to represent them.Confusion may result from the term "pressing charges," which is typically attributed to a private citizen that was harmed by a given crime. A private citizen can lodge a formal request/complaint to try someone in criminal court, but the DA's office ultimately decides whether or not to do it, and does not require any victim to press charges to do so.The legal philosophy in the US considers any given crime to be "an attack on all of us" (paraphrasing), and therefore reserves the right to prosecute on behalf of all belonging to the jurisdiction of the crime. This is why cases are titled "[state] vs [defendant]."

What is the penalty for harassment with physical contact in the state of Kentucky?
Your elaborations on the question have been moved to the discussion section. You have not filed charges. You have filed a civil complaint for a protective order, and may have made a report to the police. Private individuals are not permitted to file criminal charges. Only the state, through the prosecuting attorney, can do this. If you have made a report to the police, you would need to follow up with the police to find out if the case has been referred to the local prosecutor. You would also want to follow up with the criminal prosecutor to determine if/when they will file criminal charges. If the prosecutor does opt to file criminal charges, and if the defendant is convicted, the punishment would be determined by the judge.

Can a lawyer practice in more than one field of law?
Yes. Many attorneys have what is referred to as a general practice, which involves civil and criminal matters. However, a public prosecutor only initiates criminal action and brings to trial those persons who are charged with a crime. The term private prosecutor refers to anyone who begins the justice process against a person he or she believes has committed a crime by swearing to a criminal complaint/accusation against the named person.
