Hero tossing hero of the Republic goes free
Washington, D.C.’s most patriotic sandwich has been vindicated. Sean Dunn, better known as the “Sandwich Guy,” was acquitted Thursday after being charged with assault for tossing a Subway sub at a federal agent during Trump’s occupation of the capital. It was, by all accounts, the most consequential deli-related legal battle since the case of the stolen lunchbox.
The case grew increasingly difficult for the Justice Department, which failed to garner the support of a grand jury to indict Dunn on felony assault charges. Ultimately, they dropped the charges to a lower-level misdemeanor — and they still couldn’t get a conviction.
…“The grand jury refused to indict on felony charges so DOJ brought a misdemeanor. The trial jury acquitted—note: that means that every single person on the jury voted for acquittal. There wasn’t even a single vote to convict,” former prosecutor Joyce Vance said.
“People yakking about Pirro, and other far reaching implications of the Dunn verdict are, in sandwich terms, baloney. The jury acquitted Dunn via a not guilty vote. That’s it. Period. All the clackers imprinting their own thoughts on it are bogus,” lawyer Bill Moore quipped.
Even the agents involved had treated the incident like a joke, with one proudly displaying a “felony footlong” patch at his desk. Legal analysts celebrated the verdict with the kind of gusto usually reserved for national holidays, declaring that justice, like a good sandwich, had finally been served.
