Iterated prisoner’s dilemma implies that the investigator may be on the side of the court more than on the side of the accused.
Please call them “prosecutors” since in the U.S., “investigators” are people without law degrees hired by the defense or prosecution to interview potential witnesses, etc.
I was using “investigator” to refer to the professionals who are laying out the arguments about the case without being on on either side—what I was taking an “inquisitorial” system to be. There are obvious reasons for not calling them “inquisitors”.
They obviously aren’t prosecutors because they aren’t specifically attempting to get a conviction. Do you have a recommended term?
