United States Eleventh Circuit

Defendant-prosecutor was functioning as an advocate for the State, not as an investigator, when he obtained and compared driver's license records; since he never swore to the truth of any information he shared with the court or sought the issuance of a capias, he did not function as a complaining witness. Thus his actions are shielded by absolute immunity.
