I also had a brainfart and incorrectly assumed that the gender of the noun in German has anything to do at all with the English translation. I guess it wouldn't matter, all that matters is does the pronoun refer to a person personally, or "the prosecution" which is a non-human neutral entity in English.
Whether it translates "her" or "its" depends entirely on what the rest of the sentence means in English, the fact that nouns in German are gendered and this one is innately feminine does not even enter into the equation.
Thank you for figuring that out.
