Probably none. There are a variety of legitimate reasons why prosecutors would charge the second person but not the first. Even if their reasons are not legitimate, I see no reason to think the second person would be worse off than if both were prosecuted. Treating him worse might violate his rights, but just treating the other person better would not.
