La Giustizia negli Stati Uniti

Negli Stati Uniti ci sono due tipi di pubblici ministeri. I Federal Prosecutor sono 93 procuratori segnalati dal presidente degli Stati Uniti, approvati dal Congresso e confermati dal Senato (restano in carica per quattro anni). Lo State Prosecutor è invece eletto dai cittadini. “Ogni Procuratore Distrettuale è proposto dall’Attorney General (assimilabile al Ministro della Giustizia), dura 4 anni, è revocabile dal Presidente, e nel processo di nomina riveste un ruolo non marginale la c.d. senatorial courtesy: per cui, coinvolgendosi i due senatori dello stato in cui il pubblico ministero svolgerà le sue funzioni, si prevede un’ulteriore istanza di responsabilità. L’azione penale americana è il regno del plea bergaining, cioè del patteggiamento, di cui si deve rispondere. I giudici sono nominati e, con varie modulazioni, un ruolo comunque decisivo è assolto dagli avvocati (American bar association)”. E’ un altro mondo rispetto all’Italia.
