A jury pool that decides guilt by zip code isn’t dispensing justice. It’s picking a side. That’s the problem Washington’s U.S. Attorney’s Office faces right now, and it’s bigger than one sandwich.

Sean Dunn threw a sub sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection officer in August 2025. It’s on video. He confessed at the scene: “I did it. I threw the sandwich.” A federal grand jury still refused to indict him on the felony charge. Prosecutors dropped it to a misdemeanor, and a trial jury last November acquitted him anyway. Jurors dismissed from that same panel told CNN they doubted any D.C. jury would convict him, sandwich or no sandwich.
