“The responsibility of a public
prosecutor differs from that of the usual advocate;
his duty is to seek justice,
not merely to convict. This special duty exists because the
prosecutor represents the
sovereign and should exercise restraint in the discretionary
exercise of governmental powers. Therefore, the district attorney is
more than an advocate for one party and has
additional professional responsibilities as a public
prosecutor to make
decisions in the public's interest.”
Justice Norman Fletcher, opinion in State v. Wooten,
273 GA
