jdm. den Prozess machen

to put someone on trial

Türkçe: birini yargılamak

Not jdm. den Prozess stellen

English says to put, so stellen is the verb that comes to mind. German does not take it here. Prozess goes with machen, and the pairing is fixed — it is not a rule you can work out, only one you can learn.
