Sew or Prosecute: Qual é a diferença

De nada desde já!

Sew = costurar
Prosecute = processar

Realmente, há uma grande diferença como podemos perceber.

Eu ja vi qualquer coisa do gênero.
I'm gonna sew you...

Somehow I have that gut feeling that our friend Rucka meant the difference between "sue and prosecute"?

Yeah, I do think he meant ''sue'' instead of ''sew'' .

Sue means 'processar' >I'm gonna sue you <

As far as I know, in general both can be one and the same thing. That is, in the sense of "take someone else to court" (pursue a charge/lawsuit/some (legal) matter...etc)

Sue also has that meaning of "appeal to" (someone etc...)

Prosecute: legal action in a criminal justice
Sue: legal action in a civil justice

Sim enganei me a escrever!

Adding on:

People sue people. Suing is optional.

The state prosecutes criminals. As a general rule, prosecution is mandatory.

Civilians do not hold the power to prosecute. Prosecution is carried out by the state through a legally appointed officer (e.g. state attorney).

Good that you mention the "as a general rule", since that to every rule there´s an exception (or two).

Here, when he use "should'' it rings as it is not so mandatory.

Anyway, perhaps in 99% of cases your comment holds. Plus, you´re right, it´s dealt by prosecuting attorneys - DAs, etc...(so, on behalf of the government).
