Prosecution is the legal process where the government, represented by a lawyer known as a prosecutor, brings charges against a person accused of committing a crime. The goal of the prosecution is to prove that the accused, often referred to as the defendant, is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This process takes place in a court and involves presenting evidence, calling witnesses, and making arguments to support the case. During a trial, the prosecution must follow specific rules and procedures to ensure a fair process. The defendant has the right to defend themselves, often with the help of a defense attorney. Ultimately, it is up to a judge or a jury to decide the outcome based on the evidence presented.
