1. Role-players in the trial and post-trial phases

In both trial and post-trial phases, the judge oversees the proceedings, ensuring
they adhere to the law. They deliver verdicts based on the evidence presented
and impose sentences if the accused is found guilty.

 Prosecutor

Represents the state and the victims. Their role is to present evidence proving
the accused’s guilt beyond reasonable doubt. They work closely with
investigators to build a compelling case.

 Defense Attorney

a fair trial. The defense attorney questions evidence presented and provides
legal arguments to defend the accused.

 Police Investigators

supports the trial process. Their testimony is crucial to linking the accused to the
crime.
