The prosecutor is obliged to be objective. This means that the prosecutor must remain completely neutral in his/her assessment of what has happened and whether or not it can be proven in court.
The demand for objectivity means that the prosecutor is also responsible for investigating those factors that are to the benefit of the suspect.
If a person claims to have been the victim of a crime, the prosecutor must, for example, check the credibility of the account. If there were any witnesses present at the scene of the crime, it is important that as many of them as possible were questioned so that as complete a picture as possible is given of what happened.
Forensic evidence must, of course, be gathered and investigated in a correct and secure manner.
The prosecutor must also be objective when he or she initiates a prosecution. During the course of the trial it is admittedly the prosecutor’s task to prove that a crime has been committed, but the prosecutor is obliged to give due consideration to anything that could changes the situation with respect to evidence.
