Prosecute a criminal in a place far away (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
outer space
'a place far away' is the definition.
(space is far away from Earth)
'prosecute a criminal' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates anagramming the letters.
'prosecute'+'a'='prosecutea'
'prosecutea' with letters rearranged gives 'OUTER SPACE'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for outer space that I've seen before include "remote region" , "'place lacking atmosphere'" , "Region beyond the earth's atmosphere" .)
