Jeanine Pirro’s case against the D.C. sandwich-thrower was downright lawless
Among a U.S. attorney’s most significant responsibilities is a proper allocation of resources. For every case the office pursues, another goes unaddressed.
That’s why Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s decision to prosecute a man for throwing a sandwich at a federal agent wasn’t just silly, but irresponsible. And in this case, pursuing an assault case against that man was downright lawless.
A jury indicated its agreement Thursday when it returned a not-guilty verdict against 37-year-old Air Force veteran Sean Dunn, who admitted he threw a Subway sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent. Dunn claimed it was an act of protest against President Donald Trump for declaring an emergency and surging federal law enforcement agents into Washington, D.C.
Man who threw sandwich at US border agent not guilty of assault
A Washington DC protester has been found not guilty of misdemeanor assault after a video emerged showing him hurling a sandwich at a US border patrol agent.
Lawyers for Sean Dunn, 37, did not dispute he had thrown the sandwich on 10 August this year, but argued it was not a criminal act.
The jury's verdict comes after Customs and Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore testified that the snack "exploded all over him" and he "could smell the onions and mustard" on his uniform.
Video of the incident went viral, making Mr Dunn a symbol of opposition in Washington DC to President Donald Trump's deployment of federal agents and National Guard troops to the city.

DC sandwich thrower Sean Dunn found not guilty of assaulting federal agent
A federal jury in Washington, D.C., on Thursday found former Department of Justice paralegal Sean Dunn not guilty of assaulting a federal agent whom he had thrown a Subway sandwich at in August.
Dunn's acquittal after just several hours of deliberations was the latest rebuke to the DOJ in the case.
U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro's prosecutors previously failed to get a grand jury in D.C. to indict the 37-year-old on a felony assault charge.
Pirro's office then filed a misdemeanor charge against him, which went to trial this week. Jurors began deliberations on Wednesday.
