“”and the ADA’s and judge in the case.””

Then you are the PERFECT one to answer my question. None of us have found the right answer here yet.

WHY are the prosecutors referred to as “state’s attorneys” and not Deputy or Assistant DA’s???? We all know the state brings the charges but we can’t figure out why we don’t hear the prosecution referred to as being from the OC District Attorney’s office!!! Is State’s Attorneys and not DA’s common to FL???

It’s Florida- different states call the same offices by different names. Here- we say “the state” when referencing the prosecution. However, the judge calls them ADA’s...so it’s just Florida is...Florida ;) Keep in mind you’re also hearing out of ste people being interviewed too- lawyers etc- so you may hear them using various terms to describe the same thing.

Perry has an excellent reputation, is highly respected and is rarely if ever, over-ruled.
