Quick Question About Prosecutors

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

It depends on the government.  As noted by deadOman earlier, in common law countries, such as the U.S., public prosecutors are considered part of the executive branch. However, in civil law countries, they are usually grouped with the judges within the civil service, as civil law countries don't typically have a distinct judicial branch.  Note also that prosecutors need not be part of the government, tho the use of a private prosecutor rarely happens these days.

It's essentially a historical phenomenon and mainly a libertarian daydream these days, but it still happens rarely.
