Jury selection begins Monday in the federal trial of a D.C. man charged with throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal agent in August, during the early days of the law enforcement surge.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in the federal trial of a D.C. man charged with throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal agent in August during the early days of the law enforcement surge in the District.

Generally speaking, in a federal misdemeanor assault case, physical contact isn’t required.

The judge rejected the motion, saying the disputed issues of law will be ironed out before jury selection begins.

Dunn’s attorney filed a motion last month seeking to have the case dismissed, claiming he’s being “vindictively” and “selectively” prosecuted.

“The foreseeable evidentiary issues involve inflammatory evidence or argument that could invite jury nullification,” D.C. prosecutors wrote, in a pretrial argument.

Prosecutors don’t want the defense to mention to jurors that a federal grand jury determined there was not probable cause to indict Dunn on the original felony count. »
