Jurors acquitted Sean Dunn of assaulting ICE agents with a sandwich. It sure looked like, under the letter of the law, he was guilty. He threw a sandwich. It hit the guy.
But applying that law here was stupid and unjust. So jurors probably did what’s called “jury nullification.” Jurors are the absolute judges of the facts under US law. So if they think the facts don’t justify a conviction, they can vote not guilty and no one can do anything about it. /2
