Prosecution is the legal process where the government, represented by a prosecutor, brings charges against a person accused of committing a crime. The goal of the prosecution is to prove that the accused, known as the defendant, is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This process typically 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. If the jury or judge finds the defendant guilty, the prosecution may recommend a suitable sentence, which could include fines, community service, or imprisonment.
