A deputy district attorney works under the supervision of a district attorney in carrying out prosecution duties for both misdemeanor and felony court cases. When a defendant is charged with a crime, it is up to the office of the district attorney to determine whether a case can be made against that person. The deputy district attorney plays an instrumental part in that determination as well as any subsequent prosecution. Deputy district attorneys research law, interview witnesses and handle the courtroom prosecution of defendants. 2, record 1, English, - deputy%20district%20attorney
