Would you vote to indict the sandwich thrower?
[Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/us/politics/trump-sandwich-assault-indictment-justice-department.html)
>Federal prosecutors on Tuesday were unable to persuade a grand jury to approve a felony indictment against a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent on the streets of Washington this month, according to two people familiar with the matter.
>The grand jury’s rejection of the felony charge was a remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington and the [second time in recent days](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/us/politics/fbi-agent-assault-dc.html) that a majority of grand jurors refused to vote to indict a person accused of felony assault on a federal agent. It also amounted to a sharp rebuke by a panel of ordinary citizens against the prosecutors assigned to bring charges against people arrested after President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and federal agents to fight crime and patrol the city’s streets.
>The rejection by grand jurors was particularly noteworthy given the attention paid to the case of the man who threw the sandwich, Sean C. Dunn. Video of the episode went viral on social media, senior officials talked about the case, and the administration posted footage of a large group of heavily armed law enforcement officers going to Mr. Dunn’s apartment.
How would you vote if you were on the grand jury? Do you think this sends a message to Pam Bondi and Trump's DoJ in any meaningful way?
