It's a long standing joke that the standard of proof for a grand jury (where only the government has an opportunity to present evidence) is so low that prosecutors could secure an indictment against a ham sandwich. It's not a particularly funny joke, mind you, but it is widely known in the legal profession. What *is* funny as hell is that the Department of Justice has failed to secure an indictment against a man accused of throwing a sandwich.
