England, 1772:
a) Weiß jemand ob es auch im 18. Jahrhundert schon (wie heute) üblich war, dass - wenn ein Verbrechen (Mord) geschehen war und man den Verbrecher nun anklagte - dies von einem Staatsanwalt getan wurde? Weiß jemand genaueres darüber wie das britische Justizsystem damals funktionierte? Ich nehme doch an, dass der Delinquent zumindest auch einen Verteidiger bekam, oder war das damals noch unüblich?
b) Stimmt es, dass Gefangene in Gefängnissen von ihren Angehörigen mit Lebensmitteln(u.a.) versorgt werden mussten/durften?
c) Und galt damals der Grundsatz: "Schuldig bis zum Beweis des Gegenteils."?
d) In meinem Fall wird ein französischer Diplomat des Mordes verdächtigt. Ob man ihm eine Sonderbehandlung eingeräumt hätte, wegen seines diplomatischen Status? Gibt es da evtl. authentische Fälle?
Ergänzung:
Auf Wiki habe ich folgendes dazu gefunden, was mich annehmen lässt, dass es 1772 keine Staatsanwaltschaft gegeben habe, sondern die Opfer sich selbst um eine Anklage bemühen mussten (was den Mordopfern schwer gefallen sein dürfte). Außerdem wird hier im ersten Satz behauptet, es habe keine Polizei gegeben. Das macht mich etwas ratlos. Oder übersetz ich da was falsch?

Crown Prosecution Service
History
Historically, in England, with no police forces and no prosecution service, the only route to prosecution was through private prosecutions brought by victims at their own expense or lawyers acting on their behalf. From 1829 onwards, as the police forces began to form, they began to take on the burden of bringing prosecutions against suspected criminals.
In 1880, Sir John Maule was appointed to be the first Director of Public Prosecutions, operating as a part of the Home Office; the jurisdiction was only for the decision as to whether to prosecute, and just for a very small number of difficult or important cases; once prosecution had been authorised, the matter was turned over to the Treasury Solicitor. Police forces continued to be responsible for the bulk of cases, sometimes referring difficult ones to the Director. In 1884, the offices of the DPP and the Treasury Solicitor were merged, but were again separated by the Prosecution of Offences Act 1908.
In 1962, a Royal Commission recommended that police forces set up independent prosecution departments so as to avoid having the same officers investigate and prosecute cases though, technically, the prosecuting police officers did so as private citizens.
However, the Royal Commission's recommendation was not implemented by all police forces, and so in 1978 another Royal Commission was set up, this time headed by Sir Cyril Philips. It reported in 1981, recommending that a single unified Crown Prosecution Service with responsibility for all public prosecutions in England and Wales be set up. A White Paper was released in 1983, becoming the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985, which established the CPS under the direction of the Director of Public Prosecutions, consisting of a merger of his old department with the existing police prosecution departments. It started operating in 1986.
The power of the police to charge for all but the most minor offences was transferred to the CPS following the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
