Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a criminal case, the plaintiff (who is the government) pays for the prosecutor's attorney. The costs are covered by taxpayers' money. The victim of the crime can hire their own attorney if they wish to, but they would have to pay for it themselves. The defendant also has the right to an attorney, but if they cannot afford one, the court will appoint a public defender to represent them.
