I'm reading "Inside the Sandwich Guy’s Jury Deliberations/Can a flung sandwich cause bodily harm?" (The Atlantic)(gift link).
"At one point, sandwiches were served for lunch, an irony not lost on a jury spending hours contemplating the many possible uses of the breaded form (nutrition, satiety, projectile). 'Then we had lots and lots of jokes about the condiments,' the juror told me...."
The word "nullification" does not appear in the article. "Ultimately, the juror said the group decided the case on its merits..."

So… decisions must be made on weight, composition, velocity, etc. of a thrown projectile to determine what constitutes an assault?
Think this through, people.
'We’re supposed to be looking at the evidence, but a clear majority felt it was nonsensical, like Don’t waste our time or money,' she said.
Just imagine- all those dollars spent on the trial, when that money could have been used to pay the salary of a leftist gender studies graduate at some NGO.
What a waste.
In crim law class, we read a case about a perp charged with armed robbery with a fake gun who was convicted because the victims didn’t know it was fake. The fear was real.
In a world where leftists put cement in drink cups and urine in balloons, where does this jury get off thinking it’s funny that the agent was able to determine after the fact that the object wasn’t dangerous? And that assaulting an officer for performing his duty is also funny?
Note to police — next time just shoot the bastard and say he was resisting arrest.
Misdemeanor assault (or battery) requires “bodily harm” in DC? Hmmm. The statute seems to cover “harmful or unwanted contact.” Democrat jury nullification seems likely.
"where does this jury get off thinking..."
Forget it, Jake. They're Democrats.
The Feds ought to carry cheap little pill poppers like the Cobra Enterprises .380 to plant on the cooling corpses of creeps like Sandwich Queer.
…sets bad precedent..
@Quaestor, cheaper for them to buy a realistic toy gun and saw off the red tip.
a similar jury, let loose the assaillant of Corestine, the Doge employee, whose grandfather was once betrayed by Aldrich Ames Valery Martinov,
the same Atlantic that was on the 'insurrectionary' track for four years, Tom Nichols, was perhaps the wurst of these,
Pepper spraying cops and beating them with flag poles while attempting to overthrow the government is patriotic and correct.
Throwing a Sammie is assault!!!!!!!

low how the DC Bar collaborated to restore kleinsmith's law license for fraud, look how the jury protected Sussman, another Perkins and Coie employee, they can offend at will, without consequence
how nearly 40 years, ago they went after a true patriot in Oliver North, this is how Toobin first rubbed shoulders with Lawrence Walsh, well it was shoulders then,
“Ultimately, the juror said the group decided the case on its merits...." It’s not that all Democrats are liars. Joe Dementia told us this about Democrats: “We Choose Truth Over Facts.” Among the few of them realizing the significance of the statement “he misspoke” was the claim. Thus, Joe’s point was proved.
the shambling heap, hasn't been acquainted with the truth in 50 years, and well he is too astranged to ever recognize it,
we can address the lewis libby case, the steven case, where gross prosecutorial malfeasance was accepted,
the latter had a little to do with the prosecutions star witness, and his fbi handler, who took more than a professional interest in the latter, ahem,
After the Jan 6 pardons for people who beat the shit of police. ? So y'all ok with that but are pissed with the verdict here? Lol
Perhaps he would have found guilty if he had thrown a club sandwich.
there was so utter malfeasance in the delta house follies, which would be amusing if rosalynn boyland would not have clubbed to death, and ashley babbitt shot by the black version of neidermeyer,
when they tried to scale the whitehouse and burn down lincolns church, there was no accountability then either,
The back and forth about the weaponization of criminal law will continue , regardless of the 2028 outcome. Forum shopping will be the order of the day.
I have been watching this game for at least as long as the North trial, they have played it going back to watergate, according to informed sources,
DC Court.
The "sandwich case," involving Sean Dunn who threw a Subway sandwich at a federal agent, was heard in Federal District Court in Washington, D.C..
how does that line go 'we have only yet begun to fight'
ah ashley parker, the one who was so concerned over Romney's dog on the roof, if they didn't have double standards they would have none,
’After the Jan 6 pardons for people who beat the shit of police.’
Totally agree. And none of the J6’ers even spent a day in jail…
he may not quite grasp the sarcasm, there Beasts
So it only took 7 hours over two days for the jurors who wanted to convict to see the light. I wonder if they knew they were avoiding getting steamrolled?
Isydt, more of a hard roll,
the earlier cases I referenced were handled by pat fitzgerald, at least were reverse or modified by appeals courts, and voila, hes now comey's lead atty, the one who hunted down the terror of wall street, martha stewart
mind you there was no such diligence re Madoff, but he had krisha protection from the likes of Schumer, who he would need for the next kabuki, the Plame game
Under Matthew Graves, the citizens were locked in, the criminals were free,
It was an unknown object, of unknown composition, until it made contact. Bad judgment and precedent.
Capitol punishment is a celebrated Choice. Abort.
Double standards? They are hypocrites, but not bigots (i.e. sanctimonious hypocrites) following progressive principles, wielding liberal license under the Pro-Choice [ethical] religion.
When the person assaulted treats it as a joke, maybe the prosecutor should get a clue.
