陪审团审议华盛顿特区男子因向联邦特工投掷三明治被控袭击案
摘要
华盛顿特区陪审团正在审议肖恩·邓恩的案件，他因在抗议联邦执法部门驻市活动中向一名联邦特工投掷三明治而面临轻罪袭击指控。
华盛顿特区陪审团已开始审议肖恩·邓恩的案件。邓恩曾是司法部员工，因于2020年8月10日在一次抗议活动中向一名美国海关与边境保护局特工投掷三明治而被控轻罪袭击。该事件被视频记录下来，成为一些人眼中对特朗普政府在首都加强执法行动的抵抗象征。
邓恩未出庭作证，但在执法人员的随身摄像头视频中承认了该行为，并表示其目的是分散特工注意力。尽管最初考虑对其提起重罪袭击指控，大陪审团最终未对此进行起诉，案件因此降级为轻罪审理。辩护方声称邓恩遭到政治打击，指出他曾被司法部解雇，且白宫曾发布视频宣传其被捕。
海关与边境保护局特工格雷戈里·莱尔莫尔作证称，三明治“爆裂”在他的胸前，他的同事们随后还用恶搞礼物嘲笑此事。陪审团将继续审议此案，其结果对政治表达和执法互动具有更广泛的影响。
