Public prosecution refers to the legal process where a government attorney, typically known as a prosecutor, initiates and conducts legal proceedings against an individual or entity accused of committing a crime. The prosecutor represents the state or the public interest, aiming to uphold the law and ensure justice is served. This process involves presenting evidence, examining witnesses, and arguing the case in court, with the goal of securing a conviction based on the evidence presented. Public prosecution is a key component of the criminal justice system, ensuring accountability for unlawful behavior.
