Doesn't matter at this point, because either the jury no-billed on that, or DOJ didn't charge that. He's going to trial solely on a misdemeanor charge.

Yes. This should be the shortest trial ever. Only thing I can figure is he wants to roll the dice with a jury.

Maybe. It should be open and shut. He's on video doing it, and admitted to it. I guess he's hoping DOJ tries to make this into a big spectacle, and it pisses off the jury so much they come back with a not guilty verdict. But if he's found guilty, he's almost certainly looking at some time behind bars.

This trial is pure comedy. Today the "victim" testified that the sandwich "exploded on his chest" and "smelled of mustard and onions".
A man charged with throwing a sandwich at a federal agent was found not guilty in the second day of jury deliberations. https://t.co/6dv1E0ipW8

If this happened to your boyfriend, would it still be pure comedy ?

Should not have gone for a felony
The acquittal of former Justice Department employee Sean Dunn today seems more like the result of jury nullification than deliberation. Dunn did not deny throwing his sandwich and hitting an officer in the misdemeanor case. ... https://t.co/IcIWlx7Fsw

The guy that it happened to thought so. His fellow officers had a plush toy made for him, along with badges that said "felony footlong." (those factors helped sink this case). The jury probably didn't see that a sandwich was capable of causing "bodily harm." That was in the jury instruction.
