Sean C. Dunn, the man who pitched a sandwich at the chest of a federal agent in a viral act of opposition to President Trump's law enforcement policies in Washington, was acquitted on Thursday after a jury found him not guilty of misdemeanor assault.
The verdict, which arrived after the jury deliberated for roughly seven hours, capped a nearly three-month effort to penalize Mr. Dunn for the August outburst and the resulting chase to arrest him, after the government previously failed to persuade a grand jury to charge him with a felony.
It marked a significant setback for Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney in Washington, who made Mr. Dunn’s case a centerpiece of Mr. Trump’s aggressive policing and prosecuting scheme in the city.
The jury determined that the launching of the 12-inch deli sandwich from what the government described as “point-blank range” was not an attempt to cause injury.
The verdict followed a three-day trial focused primarily on whether Mr. Dunn, a former paralegal in the Justice Department, had impeded federal agents while they patrolled a row of nightclubs in Washington as part of the citywide law enforcement surge ordered by Mr. Trump. Mr. Dunn joined scores of other city residents swept up in the effort, which produced an increase in stops and arrests by armed troops and federal agents, and an ensuing wave of federal prosecutions over low-level street crime....

Not a surprise. It’s good that a case was brought to show AG isn’t playing around. But everyone knew this really wasn’t a serious case.
Well, he’s out of a job so not the brightest bulb. 🙄
Because you never know when you might need to attack or defend yourself with a foot-long.

Not a serious case? How would you — and those jurors — have reacted if you all had had sandwiches thrown at you?
Shows the bias of DC jurors. Republicans cannot get a fair trial there.
Well, he lost his job, and his legal defense probably cost him many thousands of dollars. Even if he is “not guilty“ of assault, the process is the punishment. I rather doubt that he will do this again, and I think that it will deter a lot of other people, at least those with jobs, From trying to imitate him. I do believe that was the purpose behind bringing charges against this guy.
Personally, if somebody threw a sandwich at me, I would be very inclined to return a knuckle sandwich in his direction. I don’t think this is truly assault, but it is an infraction that deserves a response, even if only a personal one.
It’s a famous case - he probably could have raised millions of dollars for his defense if he had needed to.
Punishment for a crime is supposed to have a deterrent effect, and I will bet this has been the case. A guilty verdit and 40 hours picking up trash or a suspended sentence wouldn’t have added much.
I hate everyone and everything.
It was much more than sandwich throwing. It was threatening, harassment, verbal assault, etc. The guy kept coming back and harassing the officers. Ya. It was a DC jury, the guy could have thrown a hand grenade at the officers and they would have acquitted him.
Well said.
But what if it had been a more STALE sandwich?
Farce,
So, someone could chuck a salami/ham sandwich at Omar & Tlaib without any consequences or repercussions?
You can bet the bass turd “jurors” would find for assault if the fag bastard hit them with a submarine. You don’t know where in the heck that submarine has been.
Just like New York City.
Feral jugheads won’t find a far-left piece of meat with two eyes guilty, EVER. Americans need to force our POS Congress into passing a law where American voters can impeach unelected Feral judicial bass turds who work for the DNC and Daddy Warbucks Soros. American VOTERS NEED A DUE PROCESS AGAINST THESE DIPSTICK COURT FERAL SUBHUMAN “REFUGEE” JUGHEADS.
That verdict should not have been a surprise. Anyone who has been paying attention to what is going on there knew what the verdict would be. The only thing in D,C. are parasites, perverts, and degenerates. And they act like what they are. This one is no different.
I guess now the Antifa types will all be bringing a subway sandwich to their protest knowing they all get a free shot at the police.
