华盛顿特区男子因用三明治袭击联邦特工案开庭审理
摘要
前司法部员工肖恩·查尔斯·邓恩被控在抗议活动中向联邦特工投掷三明治，袭击联邦特工的审判已在华盛顿特区开始。
前司法部员工肖恩·查尔斯·邓恩的审判本周在华盛顿特区开始。邓恩被控轻罪袭击，指控他在8月10日的一次抗议活动中向一名海关与边境保护局（CBP）特工投掷三明治。该事件发生在一家夜总会外，被视频记录并迅速走红网络，使邓恩成为反对特朗普总统在该市加强联邦执法行动的象征。
大陪审团未对邓恩提出重罪袭击指控，导致美国检察官办公室改为追究轻罪指控。主持此案的美国地方法院法官卡尔·尼科尔斯评论此案较为简单，预计审判不会超过两天。
控方提供的视频证据显示，邓恩走近CBP特工，称他们为“法西斯”和“种族主义者”，并高呼“羞耻”，随后向一名特工胸口投掷三明治。邓恩随后试图逃跑但被逮捕。他最初被释放，但在联邦特工突袭其住所后被重新逮捕。邓恩的律师辩称，起诉具有政治动机，指出白宫推广突袭视频以及司法部长潘姆·邦迪在社交媒体上宣布解雇邓恩，称其为“深层政府的一个例子”。
检方坚持认为，邓恩的政治表达不能免除他袭击联邦官员的刑事责任。审判继续进行，开庭陈述和证人证词将在接下来的几天内进行。
