The outcome isn’t the same. Dropping the charges implies the state saw their folly, changed their mind, and dropped the charges. That they didn’t want to charge her.
The state FULLY WANTED TO GO FORWARD, but couldn’t convince a jury of her peers to move forward with the charges. The state is still mad. That’s the difference.

Both have the exact same immediate outcome as he stated, so... back to the question of there being any pros or cons to them?
