A jury on Thursday acquitted a D.C. man who was charged with assault after throwing a sandwich at a federal agent during President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown in the capital.

The one-sided food fight, which was captured on video and spread through social media, became a slapstick symbol of resistance to Trump’s summertime takeover of local law enforcement. The defendant, Sean C. Dunn, said he was speaking out against fascism and anti-migrant policies from the Trump administration.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office said the 37-year-old Air Force veteran was not on trial for protesting but for “throwing a sandwich at a federal officer at point-blank range.” Prosecutors sought to indict Dunn on a felony assault count, but a grand jury rejected that charge, and prosecutors downgraded it to a misdemeanor.

The trial jury in U.S. District Court rejected that charge as well, deliberating for seven hours over two days before returning the not-guilty verdict.


First, gotta laugh at "point blank range", LMf'nAO!!

They tried to get 3 grand juries to indict the guy on a felony and failed each time and can't even get a conviction on a misdemeanor.

This is a textbook example of a political prosecution.

At this point anyone, regardless of which "side" they're on, who doesn't see the humor in that story needs to take a step back from politics and re-evaluate things...

I agree with the verdict.

You cannot put every Democrat who throws food at people who disagree with them, they'd be a burden on the penal system.

 

[Maxdeath]

I have to admit the guy needs to learn to be an adult but the whole indictment for throwing food was crazy.

 

[Captain Creeper]

This case did not need to go to trial. Charges never even should have been brought. Just let the geek take the beating he had coming and be done with it.

 

[odanny]

You don't throw food at Federal agent, you do something stupid like that, you will likely be arrested for it. If there was not such a heavy handed police presence ordered by Trump then this jury outcome might have been different.

The stem seems to work in the D.C. Court so what is the whining about?

Jury finds sandwich guy not guilty. Sounds like jury nullification.

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.

This is the sort of thing Trump Haters get excited about.

His corrupt and incompetent appointees embarrassing themselves?

You bet.

You gotta love it.

In a country where people are arrested over their language and face a jail sentence.

Actually assaulting an officer of the law is overlooked.

What was the old saying about federal prosecutors..."They can indict a ham sandwich"? But apparently they can't get a conviction for someone throwing one.

History is one of my hobbies. We are also watching it unfold. We always learned the hard way.

Look out!! He's got a SANDWICH!!

He was fired. So yeah, that was one costly sandwich for him.

 

[JLW]

He deserved to be acquitted. It was a Subway sandwich. Who hasn’t tossed one of those?

If it had happened in a vacuum it might have had a different result, true. But in the current climate this whole thing was a farce.
