Do Prosecutors in court cases believe only what they read ?

Question

I was always taught never to accept as truth, anything I read, anything I hear , and only half of what I see ? Based on this kind of knowledge, it was stated to me that I should not run into any life dificulties ,if I apply this kind of test to everything. But when you consider Police Prosecutors, or Prosecutors of any kind, it is often stated they get angry and annoyed, and are only believing in what they read, and that appears to be the facts. Now if the Prosecutors put that test to their work, wouldnt that change the situation , because really, they are believing something they are told, and have no idea if it is false or true, is`nt it ? What do you think about this matter ?

Answer 1

It's not a matter of what they believe, but a matter of what they think they can prove...

Answer 2

I think you need a lesson on the difference between truth and fact. Truth is an esoteric concept. Your truth may be my belly laugh. Truth is open to interpretation and is subjective.

Fact on the other hand is an absolute, verifiable by quantative data and not subject to interpretation.

Do prosecutors rely on facts? I'd like to think so, but I know a prosecutor is not only just another lawyer, he or she is also just another human being, subject to those egos and prejudices held by all of us who are human.

In a perfect world, we would base all our decisions on the facts, but the world we live in isn't perfect. So we stumble through life doing the best, or in some cases, the worst we can, with the knowledge we possess.

Do you know the difference between an optimist and a pessimist?

An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears the optimist is correct!

Answer 3

Yes, Prosecutors are extremely one sided and cannot come out the way they view the world.

Answer 4

Thats the reason there are two sets of lawyers,one is from the accused and one from the state.To prove the stated facts.
