TLDR

For the third time, a grand jury refused to indict a DC woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent during an ICE arrest, prompting U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to pursue a misdemeanor charge.

Must be one innocent looking ham sandwich... From the article: A grand jury declined for a third time to indict a D.C. woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent during an inmate swap with ICE – a rare loss for federal prosecutors that could foreshadow further trouble if the case goes to trial. ... “Seeking an indictment for a third time is extremely rare and usually only reserved for the most serious of crimes,” [former assistant U.S. attorney] Macchiaroli said. “If a governmental entity cannot convince a super majority of grand jurors that there is a fair probability that a crime was committed, it is virtually impossible to believe that twelve jurors in the same relevant jurisdiction could unanimously at a future date find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, the highest standard of proof under the law.”
