What 検察官 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
警察から送致された事件などについて、捜査記録を読むなどして証拠関係を分析し、自ら被疑者・参考人の取調べを行なったり、証拠の不十分な点について警察を指揮して補充捜査を行わせたりする。また、検察官が独自に捜査を開始し、関係者の取調べ、証拠品の捜索・差押えなどを行うこともある。
収集した証拠の内容を十分に検討した上で、確実に有罪判決が得られると判断した場合のみ、被疑者を裁判所に起訴する。罪を犯したことが証拠上、明白であっても、犯罪の軽重や情状などを考慮して不起訴（起訴猶予）とする場合もある。
起訴した事件について、裁判のために必要な書面や証拠を準備し、法廷において、証拠調べを請求し、証人尋問などを行って、被告人が犯罪を行ったことや情状などを立証し、事実及び法律の適用や求刑についての意見を述べる。
裁判所の判決に不服がある場合の上訴（控訴、上告）、判決確定後の刑の執行指揮なども、検察官の大切な仕事である。
