Defense attorney Sabrina Shroff then displayed a photo of the wrapped sandwich lying on the ground and pressed the agent to clarify whether it had really exploded. Lairmore said a piece of the sub seemed to be visible in the photo. I had mustard and condiments on my uniform, and an onion hanging from my radio antenna that night, the agent said.
During closing arguments Wednesday, Shroff questioned whether Lairmore really felt threatened, noting that his co-workers gave him a plush toy sandwich as a gag gift, which he displayed on his office shelf, and an insignia that he affixed on his lunchbox, showing a likeness of Dunn hoisting a hoagie above the words Felony Footlong.
Theyre joking about it with each other, and theyre joking about it with Agent Lairmore. Why? Because they think its funny, she said.
Judge Carl J. Nichols instructed the jury that to convict Dunn, they would have to find he acted forcibly and generated a reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.

I think you're right and the fact that the BP agent lied under oath probably didn't help either. nt

This "agent" should be put on the Brady List, along with every other Nazi ICEhole.

Yeah, that BP agent should be charged with perjury for lying on the stand about the sub "exploding". nt

Surprised they didn't try to charge him with a 'submarine attack with a deli weapon'.

Everyone protesting, tracking or confronting Ice Nazis should arm themselves with sandwiches.
