Edgeworth seems to be the only exception so far. Maybe GS4's prosecutor (I can never remember his name!) will care about the truth.

I doubt ever single prosecutor in the PW universe is like that, I think poor Phoenix just has a habit of attracting assholes.

Young Payne: Does not care at all. He only takes pleasure in crushing rookies.
Edgeworth: At first, he didn't care, but he does care now.
Young Edgeworth: Perfect record.
Manfred von Karma: Perfect record.
Fransizka: Perfect Record.
Godot: All he cares about is defeating Phoenix.
Older Payne: All he cares about is defeating Phoenix. I think.
Kyouka: Can't make an accurate decision.

Don't forget, Franziska was also in it to defeat Phoenix- her precious revenge.
So it looks like so far, only one prosecutor has learned the value of the truth.

Also, keep in mind part of what Gumshoe says about the prosecutors--they must trust the police department's investigation to turn up the right suspect. If they have faith in their police officers, they'd have no reason to go into court thinking that the defendant was anything but guilty. The problem, then, lies in the city's rushed investigations and bumbling detectives, not morally-bankrupt prosecutors.

Remember, Edgeworth said that prosecutors place a great deal of trusts in the detectives. They believe in the detectives to haul in the right guy. And when they go around busting their butts doing so, the prosecutors make sure that the criminals get locked up. Getting the right guy is the detective's job.
And if you're talking about real life, well it's the same story pretty much. I once read a novel that described that the prosecutors are like the rescue workers who puts up piles and piles of sand bag against the flood, hoping to hold up a perfect cases, while the defend lawyers poke holes in the damn they make and piss over it.
In PW the lawyer's a good guy because Phoenix's clients are innocent. But in real life there are way too many bad guys out there that would lawyer up, so they can just to get away with everything. The prosecutors are just trying to make sure the bad guys get lock away for good.

But yes, to a point you CAN'T care about the defendant, because then you might let a guilty person off the hook. You need to trust that if the person IS innocent, the defense attorney will prove such.
Of course, Manny VK was just an asshole >.>

Obviously with the game though, different prosecutors have different, individual, motives.

Meanwhile, PW prosecutors don't seem to show that kind of discression.

"Okay, I'll take your case!"
"Actually, Wright, we're letting him go and dropping the case. Not enough evidence."
That'd certainly be a boring game :P

The only exception is Edgeworth of course which had to right Phoenix's wrong.
