I was referring to my further above post, which got categorized as a very 'niche' case according to the ppl on this board:

Funny, I guess I'm a 'niche' case. Look how many police resources got involved to capture the two who had me at gunpoint. (It was all on video & submitted for evidence). Krasners office let them walk after preliminary trial.

The distinction is it is harder to prove, and the DA is requiring more evidence to go to trial on, a case that involves "constructive possession". A gun must be found on a person, or else possession is "constructive", and that has kinda been my issue with Krasner regarding these charges. It def seems he is less willing to try to prosecute a constructive possession case vs otherwise, and I think that's where the problem is.
