prosecutor:
(plural: ‘prosecutors‘; pronunciation: the letters ‘cu’ are said with a ‘q’ sound as in “queue”)
a prosecutor accusing someone in a court of law
(general) a person who prosecutes something or somebody;
{‘to prosecute’ = to follow something or someone to the very end, to keep doing something until the completion; to bring a criminal or civil legal action against another person, seeking justice for crime the other person has done, in a court of law}
(law) a person who brings or conducts legal proceedings against someone in a court of law, especially in a criminal court,
a public prosecutor shaking hands with a police officer, after prosecuting some criminal successfully
e.g.
John is the best example of a prosecutor because he prosecuted the cause of ‘abolishing child labour’ and final had the issue discussed in the parliament.
Any prosecutor must produce enough evidence before actually prosecuting someone in a court of law.
{Note: ‘Prosecutor’, also called ‘prosecuting attorney’, ‘prosecuting officer’ or ‘public prosecutor’, is a qualified lawyer who conducts criminal prosecution on behalf of the police or the government.}
There are several names given to a person who has studied law and knows much about the law of the land and so is licensed to represent any person asking for justice in a court of law. The names we generally hear are: advocate, attorney, barrister, counseller, lawyer, prosecutor, solicitor and prosecuting officer. The difference is mostly the type and nature of the law job the lawman or law-woman does and the place (country) where he/she does it; whatever be the name, the fundamental job of a lawman/law-woman is to uphold justice and represent his/her client in a court of law and plead/argue in favour of his/her client until justice is done.
