Why are prosecutors normally seen as evil people?

Don't you mean defense attorneys? I mean typically the prosecutor is the one against the bad guy, while the defense attorneys are known for defending even people obviously guilty and trying to get them out on technicalitys.

So I think the view is the other way around. And for this exact reason. And yes prosecutors can make a strong case against an innocent, but the difference is it's not as evident compared to when a defense attorney is defending someone caught red handed.

"Normally" -- only by the ignorant. Some are indeed evil, happy to prosecute the innocent. Most are not.

probably because some innocent people have been on the receiving end of a prosecutor doing everything in their power to gaslight them into being guilty

Probably because of the publicity the bad/corrupt ones get. I've known several that did everything in their power to keep people out of prison.

I don't think that. They are protected vigorously from prosecution and lawsuits which is wrong

They are usually rich.
