Detailed Solution

The public does not play any role in the criminal justice system.
The four key players in the criminal justice system are:
1)      The Police: The police conduct the preliminary investigation and prepare a charge sheet to present it in front of the judge in the court.
2)      The Judge: The judge is regarded as the final authority who decides whether the accused is guilty or not. He acts as an emperor who judges the accused through the witnesses and the evidence provided by the lawyers.
3)      The Public Prosecutor: He is the employee of the court, who represents the interests of the state or society as a whole. He is representative of the public will and acts impartially to provide for the witnesses and the evidence.
4)      The Defence Lawyer: He pleads the case on the behalf of the accused person and presents witnesses and evidence in favor of the accused person.
