No, no, no. Always, the prosecutor represents the victim. She is using victim as a legal term, not a sympathetic one. That is the role of the prosecutor always, to represent the victim, first and foremost. Not just her. All prosecutors.

You’re WRONG. A prosecutor represents the law of the state and if someone violates the law they file charges and there is a judge and defense attorney who makes sure the state is not violating the accused rights during the process. Prosecutors are not suppose to be the advocate for the so-called victims, but for the law.

That is absolutely false. Prosecutors are supposed to represent the law, sometimes characterized as “the people,” but never an individual or specific group of individuals. By her own words Corey clearly was saying she was representing Trayvon and his family as “victims.” Totally inappropriate.
