Interesting case.

I am currently of two, conflicting, opinions on it.

Someone should nominate the sandwich for a Nobel Peace Prize

I hope the p*&&^ he threw it at is forced to testify without a mask and explain why getting hit with a sandwich was such a huge boo boo he had to respond to it instead of laughing.

Lairmore testifies that other agents gave him a plush sandwich toy, which he placed on the shelf in his office, and a patch that said "Felony Footlong," which he put on his lunch box.

Lairmore has chuckled with the rest of us at times. Defense really trying to underscore the unseriousness of it all

And this is a misdemeanor trial. What a colossal waste of time and money. The judge is Trumpf appointed, so he will let this farce proceed. Had this "grand offense" occurred in NYC, a state or federal judge would have dismissed the charge and berated the AUSA or ADA for wasting the Court's time.

Were this not the case, how many college students, demonstrators, protestors, volunteers, activists, or Samaritans would be in jail or prison today?

"It smelled of onions and mustard," Lairmore said of the sandwich, which "exploded all over my chest."

Funny how the police have no evidence of the damage and the video footage shows that the sandwich remained wrapped through the assault with a breadly weapon.

There is nothing too small for them to lie about.

The sandwich EXPLODED on his vest with such force that the resultant shrapnel lettuce produced an unsavory condition that threatened the agents life.

If a police officer did this they would enjoy qualified immunity, since there's no law against throwing a sandwich at point-blank range.

And we still don't know which lethal hoagie was hurled. Possibly #30 on Subway's menu.

If I was Subway I would make a #47 Sub to capitalize on this event.

If it was any kind of impossible meat, more serious charges should ensue.

@#10 ... The sandwich EXPLODED on his vest with such force that the resultant shrapnel lettuce produced an unsavory condition that threatened the agents life. ...

While do not condone any manner of projectiles being thrown at law enforcement agents, I do have to say, wow.

"exploded all over my chest"

I mean really. How can a sandwich "explode?"

Maybe, at best. it splattered.

"Exploded" implies some manner of force generated within the object that causes it to expand rapidly.

How does a sandwich generate that level of internal force?

I bet he has something else explode upon his chest before. Just sayin

At common law, assault is basically offensive touching. I don't know about the legal basis for these charges but the optics are comical. Prosecutorialy questionable. Typical Buffoon.

@#17 ... the optics are comical ...
