Yes, there were huge plagues in Ancient Rome that caused all kind of devastation.....

One of the FIRST of the BIG plagues was the Antonine Plague, 165-180 AD, also known as the Plague of Galen, an ancient pandemic, whether of smallpox or measles, they are not sure, claimed the lives of TWO Roman emperors.

The disease broke out again 9 years later and caused up to 2,000 deaths a DAY at Rome, one quarter of those infected.

Total deaths have been estimated at five million.

Disease killed as much as one-third of the population in some areas, and decimated the Roman army.

This thing traveled far too, up into Gaul, all over Roman Europe.

The Plague of Justinian may have been the first instance of bubonic plague and was one of the causes of the Fall of the Roman Empire.

Smaller but no less deadlier plagues played havoc throughout the Roman Empire over many years.

At which point in the criminal justice process does the responsibility for the case switch over from the police to the prosecuto

Alexeev081 [22]

After the suspect's arrest in the criminal justice process does the responsibility for the case switch over from the police to the prosecutor.

Chandler, Fletcher, and Volkow (2009) identified the criminal justice stages of entry, prosecution, adjudication, sentencing, corrections, and return. These stages trace offenders' movement through the criminal justice elements from arrest, through court, to captivity or community-supervision.

The prosecutor's job is to deliver justice to not secure conviction or final judgment so as to satisfy anyone or any motive. His job is to ascertain that whether or not within the whole procedure of arrest to investigation to trial, whether or not the law was followed or not.
