Q&A: Prosecutorial Misconduct

Question:

Can a prosecutor charge someone based on their own suspicion?
Answer:
No, the prosecutor can only change someone with an offense if they believe that probable cause exists to support the charge. However, many will not charge a case unless they believe they have enough evidence to secure a conviction. That requires that they prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
