Detailed Solution

The prosecutor works alongside the police to investigate offences. They must communicate with the criminal, the victim, and any witnesses and maintain regular communication with the police. After completing preliminary investigations, the prosecutor determines whether sufficient evidence exists to present the case in court. The prosecutor's job is to prove that the suspect committed the crime. They interrogate the suspect, witnesses, and specialists to determine the suspect's guilt. The accused's assigned defence lawyer presents the argument on their behalf. Defence counsel may cross-examine witnesses to demonstrate that the accused is innocent and request that the court invite witnesses.
