| Details | The ABA says the job of the prosecutor is to "seek to protect the innocent and convict the guilty" and to "consider the interests of victims and witnesses” while also respecting the rights of witnesses and suspects. The progressive prosecutor movement, which includes practices such as declining to prosecute some categories of crime, ending cash bail, has the goal to replace traditional prosecutors.

Zack Smith is a legal fellow for the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation.
