Sean Dunn is accused of tossing a Subway sandwich at a federal agent in Washington, D.C. (U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia)
"It seemed to me like an open and closed type of thing," a third juror told the outlet. "It was kind of ridiculous."
"We asked each other: If we only look at this case, can someone really do harm to someone wearing a ballistic vest by throwing a sandwich?"
The trial lasted three days, and jurors deliberated for 7 hours before handing down a verdict on Nov. 6. After it was read, Dunn hugged his lawyers in the courtroom.

Dunn’s lawyers did not dispute that Dunn threw the sandwich at a CBP officer outside a nightclub, though they insisted it was done as an "exclamation point" to express his negative feelings about the National Guard’s deployment within the nation’s capital.

"It was a harmless gesture at the end of him exercising his right to speak out," defense attorney Julia Gatto said during the trial. "He is overwhelmingly not guilty."
