They are two separate cases because two separate crimes were committed. The fact that they shot at ST's house might be a worse offense, but it does nothing to exhonorate him for allegedly pulling a gun on someone prior to the shooting.
As best I can tell, it seems as though the prosecution must believe that it needs ST's friend's testimony. If it can't get it, then I would still expect the prosecution to eventually drop the charge down to a misdemeanor and take a plea from ST for that. If the prosecution can get ST's friend's testimony, then I think ST is looking at a trial and a prosecution that won't budge. I really believe much of ST's future hinges on just how good of a "friend" this bat-wielding guy is.
