The state's attorney is usually another name for the 'prosecutor' in a criminal case. They make the case on behalf of the 'state' that the defendant is guilty of a crime. They represent the state because it is the law of the state that has been broken. The defendant, of course, should have a defense attorney whose job it is to give the defendant a fair shot at refuting the charges laid against them.
