[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we can all agree that if a random person hit you with a sandwich, that no policeman would investigate your case and no prosecutor would ever bring your case to trial.

I don’t agree with that at all. What low standards you have.  In most parts of the country that is 100% arrestable. [/quote]

Great...find me one case that even anecdotally fits this description (someone arrested for pouring a drink on someone...someone arrested for throwing a stuffed animal at someone...anything remotely similar).

You can't, because you are full of shit.  You know that you would be laughed at by the police if you wanted to press charges against someone who threw a sandwich at you.

Four pages ago a prosecutor said this absolutely could be an assault.  I’m not sure what else there is to say.  [/quote]

So...some random person on DCUM who we have zero idea who they actually are...that's your evidence?

PP literally said (I assume it was you) that throwing a sandwich at someone is 100% arrestable in most parts of the country.

Great, provide a link to one case of someone getting arrested for throwing a sandwich at somebody.  I will also take pouring a room temperature or cold drink (yes, a scalding drink that does injure someone is a different matter) on somebody, or throwing a stuffed animal at somebody.

The containers (not the liquid) were the harmful object in those cases and the rowdy soccer fans spit.

Heck, if the sandwich had been made with a crusty baguette then it might have been assault.   Had the mustard splattered it might have been assault.  But it wasn't and didn't so it wasn't assault.

No perception of harm, no capability of harm, no offensive touching, and lying about mustard = not assault.

The details make all the difference and the prosecution was not just overreaching they also didn't put up much of a case (and likely encouraged the agent to lie on the stand).  Tsk tsk.  Kudos to the defense for paying attention and kudos to the jury for following the law.  Justice was served.[/quote]
