Lesser criminal cases are generally prosecuted by a county attorney, while the more serious criminal cases tend to be prosecuted by a <u>district attorney</u>.
<h3>Difference Between County Attorney and District Attorney</h3>
A county attorney represents the state in the justice of the peace and county courts, fights county-related lawsuits, and advises county and precinct officials on legal matters.
The county attorney is usually in charge of prosecuting minor criminal cases.
A district attorney is a chief prosecutor for a state in a local government region, usually a county or a group of counties.
When there are more serious criminal cases, the district attorney usually prosecutes them.
