    I dunno.

    what’s fun about MrHamSandwhich was that it was jury nullification. They didn’t even argue he didn’t do it.

      It wasn’t nullification. It was good to lawyering to have the instructions be specific about requiring the act to be forceable which requires a risk of harm. The argument was entirely a wrapped sandwich isn’t a threat to an armored officer.

        no. no it did not.

        also the “victim” being a broken-dick fuckwit didn’t really help either.
