Maybe the DA is utilizing a grand jury as a method of slow rolling this? The 5th Amendment only applies gran juries to capital and infamous crimes. Pretty sure a sandwich toss doesn’t usually count as either. So, if I wanted to let this guy off without looking like I was letting him off, I’d use a grand jury for these infamous crimes (knowing the grand jury will never indict a ridiculous crime like this) instead of charging a misdemeanor.
The DAs have been told to seek the maximum possible charge, so it’s about orders from above
