Question

What is the difference between selective and vindictive prosecution?

Answer 1

motive

Answer 2

Selective prosecution is a prosecutors duty, to select out when and under what circumstances to use the limited budget to seek a criminal conviction.  Vindictive prosecution refers to a prosecutor making a charging decision in retaliation for a defendant's exercise of his rights.

Answer 3

Selective prosecution is prosecution against a certain class of people - with simultaneous failure to administer  the same exact criminal laws against others who are out-side that targeted class of people.   (A procedural defense is where the defendant argues that they shouldn't be held criminally liable for breaking the law) .

Vendictive prosecution is a prosecution which the prosecution would not have been initiated against the person - except for the   “vindictiveness” of the prosecution - and also -  which has a retaliatory motivation .
