UNPACKING SKILLS OF CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS AND PROSECUTORS
DEFINING A CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER An attorney who specializes in defending individuals and companies accused of crimes is known as a criminal defense lawyer. Their primary duties include protecting their client's rights, investigating the claims, and developing a compelling defense to disprove the prosecution's position.
DEFINING A PROSECUTOR Prosecutors are government employees who bring legal action on behalf of the federal or state governments. It is their responsibility to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to protect the law and seek restitution for the victim.
COMPARING THE SKILLS OF CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS AND PROSECUTORS 1. Objective vs. Advocacy: Prosecutors aim to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, while defense attorneys advocate for their client's innocence or reduced charges. 2. Burden of Proof: Prosecutors must establish guilt, whereas defense attorneys challenge the evidence and highlight reasonable doubt. 3. Case Building: Prosecutors gather and present evidence, while defense attorneys scrutinize and counter the prosecution's case. 4. Negotiation Tactics: Both negotiate, but prosecutors seek convictions or plea deals, while defense attorneys strive for the best possible outcome for their clients.
