    A jury trial for throwing a sandwich?

    If they’re gonna overreact maybe make sure you’re getting your money’s worth, huh?

      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.

      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.

      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.
