There is no exact figure on the total number of prosecutors employed in the U.S. as it varies across federal, state, and local jurisdictions. However, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of prosecutors working in various legal offices and agencies throughout the country.
Prosecutors can choose to Nolle Prosse a criminal charge but they do not have the power or authority to dismiss a charge. Only judges can dismiss a charge. I seriously doubt that any statistics are kept on the number of state AND federal charges nationwide that are Nolle Prosse'd.
The overall 'boss' of a state prosecutor is the State's Attorney General. The prosecutors office is part of the Executive Branch of government - not the Judicial Branch.
The offense itself will spelled out in the US Criminal statutes - you will (usually, although not always) be arrested by a federal officer and you will be charged by the US Attorney's office in Federal Court not the state prosecutors office in state court.
It depends upon the area of the country, and prevailing salary scale, and what agency they work for (county, state, federal).
I visited with a federal prosecutor about four years ago and he told me they make between 80-100,000 a year. Again this was four years ago, and this is on the federal level. I do not know what state and city prosecutors make.
In many states they do, but in some they don't for felonies. These deadlines are known as statutes of limitations. Also what you're asking is if the prosecutors have a deadline to file charges. They don't indict, grand juries do. Prosecutors will either file charges by information, called a charging document, or seek an indictment by a grand jury.
Local officials accused of corruption are typically prosecuted by state or federal prosecutors, depending on the jurisdiction and the specific charges involved. These prosecutors are responsible for investigating allegations of corruption, gathering evidence, and presenting cases in court to seek justice and accountability.
No. Federal prison houses those who've commited federal crimes and state prisons house those who've committed state crimes. If someone violates both states and federal crimes, prosecutors will try to get a conviction on the federal level because it's a more severe penalty.
