Potential jurors who weren’t chosen to serve in the trial of a DC man accused of throwing a sub sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection officer expressed deep skepticism of the federal case.
A bunch of eight dismissed jurors spoke to NCS Monday, questioning whether or not any jury in DC would convict the accused sandwich-thrower, Sean Dunn. Dunn has pleaded not responsible to a misdemeanor assault cost. A jury was chosen in the trial Monday afternoon.
“How is that an assault?” one DC girl requested of the sandwich throwing.
“There’s other stuff happening in this city,” one other girl mentioned, including she felt the authorities was losing individuals’s time “especially during a shutdown.”
A grand jury declined handy up a extra extreme assault cost in opposition to Dunn over the summer season, which carried a most sentence of almost a decade in jail. Prosecutors then filed a criticism in opposition to Dunn that carries a far decrease most sentence of 1 yr.
“Didn’t he already lose his job?” a man dismissed from the jury pool mentioned to NCS.
Dunn, who labored at the Justice Department at the time of the alleged sandwich throwing, was shortly fired after the incident, which Attorney General Pam Bondi publicly introduced.
Prosecutors say Dunn, in early August, yelled offensive issues at a bunch of officers earlier than throwing the sandwich and operating away.
“I don’t know how a DC jury would convict,” one other potential juror who was not chosen mentioned.
