Who is the Respondent?

Explanation:
In legal proceedings, the term respondent means the party who must answer or respond to the action or allegations. In a criminal context, that is the person charged or under investigation—the suspect. The victim or complainant initiates the case, and a witness provides testimony, but the one who must respond to the charges is the accused. So the respondent aligns with the suspect.
