el principal letrado de la acusación


Explanation:
"Letrado de la acusación" es la traducción que da el diccionario jurídico Ariel para "prosecuting counsel".

"Senior" se puede traducir como "principal" y creo que funciona bien en este contexto aunque, por lo menos en Inglaterra, "senior counsel" se refiere a un cierto status del letrado.
