Didn’t deny attack but claimed it was a ‘harmless gesture’
The former DOJ lawyer who was on trial for throwing a sandwich at a federal agent over the summer was found not guilty by a DC jury on Thursday.
A man in a salmon-colored t-shirt was caught on video throwing a sandwich at a federal officer in DC over the summer after President Trump deployed the National Guard to patrol the streets.
The sandwich thrower was identifiedas 37-year-old Sean Charles Dunn, a DOJ trial attorney.
A DC grand jury previously refused to indict Dunn on felony charges so the DOJ downgraded his charges to a misdemeanor and went to trial.
On Thursday a DC grand jury found Dunn not guilty.
Dunn’s defense attorney told jurors that his client threw the sandwich as a “harmless gesture.”
Unwanted touching = assault. It’s a crime.
It’s D.C.
