Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

Everyone happy about the sandwich guy not getting indicted has to agree to not try to duck jury duty the next time their name comes up. It's one of the few ways you as a random citizen can say "no, this is not justice" in our system.
