Answer to Question 1

The prosecutor is the official given the task of charging criminal suspects in the name of the government and obtaining convictions of those responsible for violating the law. Their role is primarily one of legal advising, rather than prosecution. City attorneys are, with some exceptions, the chief legal advisors to city government officials. Most criminal prosecutions are handled at the county level, so this chapter's discussion is focused primarily on district attorneys and state's attorneys and their deputies.

Answer to Question 2

The most obvious reason for deciding not to prosecute is lack of evidence. There are other reasons not to prosecute, other than lack of evidence. For example, even if the state's case is strong, there may be an incentive not to prosecute. If it appears the defense's case is stronger, then it may behoove the prosecutor to proceed with charges against a different individual.
Failure to press charges can sometimes be questioned by a court, which can provide relief to individuals who wish to proceed with the case. Other times, a prosecutor's supervisor or other high-ranking official may step in.

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
