The legal status of a public prosecutor in the court of appeal on criminal cases

The article examines the procedural status of a public prosecutor in the court of appeal on criminal cases, which is different from the procedural status of a convicted person, a defense counsel, a victim, other participants of the criminal process. It is concluded that in the court of appeal the public prosecutor, being a party of charge, proves to the court of appeal instance, including through the provision of additional evidence, that a criminal act committed by the accused, did take place, the convicted person is guilty of it, and should therefore incur the punishment prescribed by the criminal law. Such activities are nothing more than a criminal prosecution.
