"Dunn's victim, a Border Patrol agent named Greg Lairmore, was struck by the sub after being dispatched to Washington D.C. to help carry out the Trump administration's pointless and fascistic crackdown of the city. After confronting Lairmore and giving him a little of the old business, Dunn whipped an entire Subway sandwich into the officer's chest before leading him on a foot chase."
"At the start of the trial on Monday, presiding U.S. District Judge Carl Nichol said that he expected the trial to last two days on account of it being "the simplest case in the world." Not so! It ended up taking four days, including several hours of jury deliberation, to bring this case to a close. At one point during deliberation, the jury asked for clarification on the definition of the phrase "bodily harm," which briefly raised the specter of a mistrial."
A Washington, D.C. jury acquitted Sean Charles Dunn of misdemeanor assault after he hurled a large Subway sandwich at Border Patrol agent Greg Lairmore during an August confrontation. Prosecutors sought more serious charges but a grand jury declined to indict, leaving only a misdemeanor. The trial lasted four days despite initial expectations it would take two, and jurors sought clarification on "bodily harm" during deliberations. Testimony included the agent's claim that the sandwich "exploded" on his uniform and smelled of onions and mustard, while the defense emphasized inconsistencies about whether the sub's contents left their packaging. Dunn spoke briefly after acquittal.
