At the beginning of the examination of evidence, the public prosecutor must state the facts that said prosecutor intends to prove through evidence; provided however, that said prosecutor may not make any statements from which prejudice or a preconception of the case is likely to arise based on materials which are not qualified for evidence or which are not intended to be requested for examination in the court.
証拠調のはじめに、検察官は、証拠により証明すべき事実を明らかにしなければならない。但し、証拠とすることができず、又は証拠としてその取調を請求する意思のない資料に基いて、裁判所に事件について偏見又は予断を生ぜしめる虞のある事項を述べることはできない。

public prosecutor
検察官
The official who brings a prosecution (公訴) for a crime before a court (Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 247), and who may decide not to prosecute where, in view of the offender's character, age and circumstances, the gravity and circumstances of the offence and what happened after it, prosecution is not needed (Article 248). In criminal cases a public prosecutor asks the court to apply the law correctly and oversees the carrying out of its judgments; and, as the representative of the public interest, a public prosecutor also does the work other laws and regulations assign to a public prosecutor, which is not limited to criminal cases (Public Prosecutors Office Act, Article 4). A public prosecutor may investigate any crime (Article 6, paragraph (1)). Public prosecutors work through the public prosecutors offices (検察庁): the Supreme, High, District and Local Public Prosecutors Offices (Article 1).
