DC ‘sandwich guy’ found not guilty of misdemeanor assault​

The man who slung a sandwich at a federal agent in Washington, D.C., and was unwittingly transformed into an opposition symbol of President Trump’s local crime crackdown has been found not guilty of misdemeanor assault after a trial.

A jury handed down the not guilty verdict Thursday against Sean Dunn, a former Department of Justice (DOJ) employee who hurled the hoagie after confronting a group of officers patrolling a popular nightlife area of the nation’s capital.


The acquittal marks an embarrassing loss for federal prosecutors, who pursued the misdemeanor charge after a grand jury refused to return an indictment on the felony assault count they initially sought.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, the Trump appointed judge overseeing the case, said he expected the trial to last no more than two days and called it “the simplest case in the world.”

But the trial dragged on three days, and the jury deliberated for part of both Wednesday and Thursday before Dunn was ultimately acquitted.

Sounds like something the democrats would do anyway--for crying out loud, the moron lost his sandwich. It wasn't worth the money and effort to bother with. SMH. I've seen more mature activity in a first grade dodgeball game.

/----/ A decent defense attorney runs about $400 an hour. I wonder who paid that.

This definitely shows the critical need for common sense sandwich control.

What kind of ***** ass cop charged him with that anyway?
They can beat you to death and plead ignorance, but you throw a ******* piece of bread at them and they cry like little chumps. SMH

As a conservative I can say this about the topic:

Wgaf?

Personally, I believe that an assault charge requires some injury to the alleged victim.

Because the thrown sandwich (even if stale as ****) couldn’t actually have caused any injury, the behavior was not even an attempted assault. Juvenile? Yep. Ineffective? Yep.

But an assault? I don’t buy it.

The statute does not define “assault” directly — so courts interpret it according to federal common law. Under federal precedent (e.g., United States v. Chestaro, 197 F.3d 600, 605–06 (2d Cir. 1999)), “assault” under § 111 generally means:

1. A willful attempt or threat to inflict injury upon another person, coupled with an apparent present ability to do so, or
2. Any intentional display of force such as would give the victim reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.

How ridiculous.

They didn't. Fed DOJ did afterwards. Originally tried to charge with a felony.

The jury must have thought the whole thing was a bit hamfisted, kind of chicken and the DOJ was a turkey. I am sure they roasted them in the jury room. Now the DOJ has egg on its face.

That's a bad precedent to set, especially given how violent you people are.

Instead of going after the folks that Epstein and Maxwell trafficked to, this is their priority.

If the Hoogie does not fit, you must acquit!

Meh, at least he got put through "the process"......I bet he eats his sandwich next time.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Did they foolishly overcharge him?

Trump had it made post election. Somehow along the way the wrong people got his ear. Perhaps the right people but with the wrong intentions, who knows?

Hey. I agree. I believe their subway sandwiches should be highly regulated including holsters, lockboxes, safeties and maybe even real bread.
