Legal analysis: Public prosecutors cannot hire lawyers. Because the state's public prosecution power cannot be delegated.
Legal basis: "Article 3 of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the National Criminal Procedure Law" stipulates that the investigation, detention, arrest and pre-trial of criminal cases are the responsibility of the public security organs. The prosecution of cases directly accepted by the procuratorate The People's Procuratorate is responsible for approving arrests, investigating, and prosecuting. Unless otherwise provided by law, no other agency, organization, or individual has the right to exercise these powers.
