DC Grand Jury Rejects Yet Another Case Brought By Prosecutors In Trump Crackdown
HuffPost
Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro's office has now whiffed on three cases alleging defendants assaulted federal agents during Trump's police takeover.
A D.C. grand jury declined to indict a man accused of assaulting a federal agent during President Donald Trump’s takeover of policing in Washington, D.C. It marks at least the third case in which prosecutors have failed to clear the famously low bar of securing such an indictment.
Police pulled over Alvin Summers near the National Mall after he allegedly drove a Ford Bronco in an area where cars aren’t allowed. Police alleged Summers “speed-walked” away during the encounter, then resisted arrest and “grabbed” a U.S. Park Police officer “by the upper body with force,” pulling them both to the ground.
Summers became one of at least 17 people prosecutors have accused of “assaulting” or “impeding” a federal agent since Trump began his crackdown on crime in D.C. two and a half weeks ago. But an attorney for Summers wrote in a filing Thursday that on Aug. 21 a grand jury declined to indict Summers on the felony charge, which can carry up to eight years in prison.
“[The] officer’s testimony was rejected by the grand jury, presumably after reviewing the body-worn camera video,” the attorney, A.J. Kramer, wrote.
Kramer was opposing the government’s motion to dismiss the case without prejudice, which would leave the door open to prosecutors pursuing the charge again.
