representante legal del estado en juicios penales
Un fiscal es un representante legal de la acusación en estados con el sistema adversarial, adoptado en el derecho consuetudinario, o el sistema inquisitorial, adoptado en el derecho civil. La acusación es la parte legal responsable de presentar el caso en un juicio penal contra el acusado, un individuo acusado de infringir la ley. Por lo general, el fiscal representa al estado o al gobierno en el caso presentado contra la persona acusada.
