Subway Is Not a Sandwich Shop

I know that this sounds absurd, but I have proof.

The burden of proof is low, probable cause rather than beyond a reasonable doubt, and only the prosecutor presents evidence, and the grand jury does not have to be unanimous in their decision.

This is why he have the adage that,  "A prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich."

Well, a grand jury refused to indict Sean Dunn, better known as, "Sandwich Guy," just refused to indict him despite being caught on a now viral video chucking a salami subway food item at a federal agent.

Thus, Subway does not make sandwiches.

QED.

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 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.

………

It is extremely unusual for prosecutors to come out of a grand jury without obtaining an indictment because they are in control of the information that grand jurors hear about a case and defendants are not allowed to have their lawyers in the room as evidence is presented.

Yes, I know, my logic is faulty, but having experienced the Subway dining experience, I have to state on the best days, they are barely food adjacent.

What can I say, but "DAD HUMOR".
