Answer:
In that context, people refers to the citizens of the state, who are represented in criminal cases by the prosecutor. A prosecutor is the government's attorney in a criminal case who represents the people, such as a District Attorney, States Attorney, U.S. Attorney, Attorney General, Solicitor General, or special prosecutor. A prosecutor may investigate certain criminal offenses on his own initiative, or at the request of a government officer or government body. The prosecutor's job is to seek justice on behalf of all the state's citizens (the people).
