One who institutes proceedings in a criminal court (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prosecutor

(Other definitions for prosecutor that I've seen before include "One making case against defendant" , "One who conducts case against defendant" , "One stating the case against a defendant" , "Court official" , "Legal official" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
