the prosecutor
The defendant in a criminal case is not required to prove innocence. The prosecution is required to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The plaintiff/prosecutor speaks first, usually summarizing the evidence that has been presented, and highlighting items most beneficial to the prosecution. The attorney for the defendant speaks next.

If a prosecutor possesses evidence that could help the defendant, they are ethically obligated to disclose it to the defense. This duty upholds the principles of justice and fairness, ensuring that the defendant has a fair opportunity to present their case. Failing to disclose such evidence could lead to a miscarriage of justice and potential repercussions for the prosecutor. Ultimately, the integrity of the legal process relies on transparency and the pursuit of truth.

In a manslaughter case, a prosecutor must prove that the defendant caused the death of another person without premeditation, demonstrating a lack of intent to kill. They must establish that the defendant acted recklessly or with criminal negligence, which significantly deviated from the standard of care expected in similar circumstances. Additionally, the prosecutor must show that the defendant's actions directly resulted in the victim's death.
In a criminal law case there are 6 parties involved. These parties include the victim, the defendant or suspect, the defense attorney, the prosecutor, the judge, and the jury.
