1.00 CLE Credit
The culmination of a case typically occurs with a prosecutor’s decision on case resolution. Many factors go into this ultimate decision. First and foremost, a prosecutor must have a firm grasp of ethical obligations. Another key factor is the knowledge that a fair and just resolution will look different based on the specific details of the case. At the forefront of those considerations are both safety of the community and victim’s rights and wishes. While on its face, it may not appear that the concerns for community safety and victim autonomy are opposing goals, however, prosecutors may find themselves with cases in which those these goals may not align. This CLE explores the considerations involved in making the ultimate decision on resolving a case whether that be by plea or trial.

Rick Amato
State's Attorney
DeKalb County
DA Amato was re-elected as The DeKalb County State’s Attorney in 2020. Prior to his first term and after he served as an assistant state’s attorney in the same office, he established a career building small, regional law offices that specialized in criminal defense work throughout the northern half of Illinois. His passion lies in teaching his staff to use their legal skills to serve and help others. He chose to run for State’s Attorney in 2016 after witnessing the decline and decay of the office as it passed through 5 State’s Attorneys in 6 years. His goal was to re-establish and rebuild the office as a stable force that the community could depend on to deliver what is right and just. He positioned the office to balance our nation’s concerns for criminal justice reform while holding the most dangerous offenders accountable.
