A jury trial for throwing a sandwich?
If they’re gonna overreact maybe make sure you’re getting your money’s worth, huh?
Exactly. They’re gonna put this guy on trial, and it’s just gonna remind everyone how cool he is and what clowns the feds are.
Lawyer: And then what did you do?
Defendant on stand: And then I threw my sandwich at him.
Jury: fuck yeah
Followed by a few fist pumps.
He looked hungry; I was trying to feed him so he could continue using his hands to molest and assault innocent people.
Remember that they tried indicting him with a felony and grand juries refused to indict him multiple times. Now they are trying to use this misdemeanor trial to make an example out of him but I have a feeling it will backfire spectacularly.
They went through like 3 grand juries before finding any that would indict.

Hell yes a jury trial. I assume the defendant requested it. After all, they couldn't convince a grand jury to indict him so there's every chance a petite jury will let him off too. But they are desperate to get some sort of conviction so they are wasting pile of money on this.
