Potential jurors who were not selected 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 group of eight dismissed jurors spoke to CNN Monday, questioning whether any jury in DC would convict the accused sandwich-thrower, Sean Dunn. Dunn has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge. A jury was selected in the trial Monday afternoon.

“How is that an assault?” one DC woman asked of the sandwich throwing. ..: “There’s other stuff happening in this city,” another woman said, adding she felt the government was wasting people’s time “especially during a shutdown.”

A grand jury declined to hand up a more severe assault charge against Dunn over the summer, which carried a maximum sentence of nearly a decade in prison. Prosecutors then filed a complaint against Dunn that carries a far lower maximum sentence of 1 year.

1. Were the charges dismissed, too?

3. I'd laugh at any prosecutor asking me questions about a ridiculous case. Hope case dismissed or something.

10. "Was it six inch, or twelve inch?"

Was it toasted?
Did it include a cookie?
Did the sack have $50,000 in it?

11. No joke. It's that absurd. I'd probably want to hear testimony if it was a brick, but a samich?

And, I wouldn’t be quick to convict on a brick in an ICE situation.

8. The other day, someone posted (not here) about a woman who threw water in a store security guard's face.

They called the police on her, even though she'd already left.
Why not just ban her from the store? Why bother calling to report it to the police?
