Ex-Marine Daniel Penny is indicted by a grand jury over chokehold death of homeless schizophrenic Jordan Neely on subway - after being arrested on second-degree manslaughter charge
2023-06-15
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Manhattan grand jury has indicted ex-Marine Daniel Penny following the death of homeless man Jordan Neely during a subway confrontation last month.

Exact charges are not yet known and will not be unsealed until Penny, 24, makes an appearance in court at a later date - expected to be July 17. He was initially arrested on a charge of second-degree manslaughter.

Penny is currently free on a $100,000 bail. He surrendered himself to law enforcement officers on May 12 - nearly two weeks after the fatal incident occurred.

In an episode that sparked protests across New York, on May 1, Penny placed Jordan Neely - a homeless schizophrenic -
...a homeless schizophrenic who had 40 prior arrests including violent attacks, and was loudly working himself up to attack riders in that car...
in a chokehold on an F-train. Neely lost consciousness and eventually died.

The grand jury's decision means Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will be able to proceed to trial, where Penny, if convicted, may face up to 15 years in prison.

#10  They would bankrupt him, but I think there will be a Give Send Go. He may be able to parlay some kind of career out of the notoriety post trial.

#9  defense will be able to call to the stand several passengers who felt threatened by Neely, some of whom are black

even in Manhattan, it is hard to see a jury convicting Penny

#8  In this case peers must be people on the voter roll that ride the subway. If there is truly a high level of violence on the NY subway, at least one of his peers ought to be willing to recognize that railroading Penny will be detrimental.

#4  Too bad for Daniel Penny though. If I was a young white man like him, I'd get out of New York ASAP.

#3  Here we go again. It's Rodney King/George Floyd/Michael Brown (I can't remember the names of all the others) all over again. Any time a black man causes any kind of trouble, it's always the white man's fault. The media will hype this case the same as they did all those others. But at least this time I don't expect any riots. BLAMTIFA was hired to organize riots during the Trump administration but they'll stand down for Biden.

Get to see Devictor Ouedraogo doing his best Michael Jackson impersonation, but not the sentinel Jordan Williams.

'When Daniel defended against Jordan, he defended against all of us'
/lesser Al Sharpton, who just called all black people violent drug abusers.
