Are a prosecutor and district attorney the same?
Prosecutor is a generic term to describe the official, usually employed by the executive authority of a place, to enforce criminal laws through coordination with the police. In the American criminal justice system, the prosecutor decides what cases should be tried in court and presents "the people's" case. "DA" usually stands for "District Attorney", which is a more-specific term for a prosecutor. A District Attorney is normally an independently elected official who performs the role of prosecutor for a given area. Prosecutor is general; DA is specialized.
Should lawyers be emotion-less in order to be objective?
Not necessarily.The defense attorney's responsibilities do not require objectivity. Of course, if the defense attorney can objectively prove that the defendant is innocent, it helps, but most defense attorneys are well-aware of their client's guilt. Their responsibility is to get the defendant the best deal possible, which many times requires them to appeal to the emotions of the judge, prosecutor, and jury.The prosecutor should be a little more objective. The prosecutor is expected to provide tangible evidence that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; however, the prosecutor, too, may appeal to the emotions of the jury. You'll commonly hear prosecutors make remarks about the victim's personal life, representing them as an upstanding person, thus making the jury more likely to convict and the judge more likely to sentence strictly.Both should show SOME objectivity; however, if they're acting "emotion-less", they would not be adequately doing their jobs.Emotion-less objectivity is better suited for an investigator.

What if the prosecutor denies you a DNA and sends you to prison?
Prosecutors do not grant or deny requests. They also do not determine who goes to prison. That is a matter for the court, via the judge. If you are risking prison time, you need to be talking to a lawyer. The prosecutors can request, grant, deny or order a DNA test as long as the defense attorney is made aware to make sure that all their ducks are in a row when dealing with any case. It is up to the defense attorney to oppose the request to a judge and show cause as to why it should be opposed.
