Selective and vindictive prosecution?

What is the difference between selective and vindictive prosecution?

Firstly, I'd like to point out that AB is a UK-based site and not necessarily the best place to seek answer on questions which appear to relate to US laws (which are frequently vastly different to UK laws). If you intend to ask further questions, you might get a better response on these (US) sites:

However, to answer your question, you need to read about United States v. Gutierrez and United States v. Gallegos-Curie, here:
