Daniel Penny Is Innocent, And Only A Woke System Can Convict Him
The left loves to persecute the innocent. The weaponized DOJ built multiple artificial cases against Trump and are ruining the lives of many innocents in the J-6 mirage case. Another innocent person whom the leftist D.A. and corrupt media have persecuted lately is Daniel Penny.
Penny’s nightmare began on May 1st of last year when Jordan Neely barged onto a Manhattan subway train high on K2, a synthetic marijuana drug that functions as a stimulant. Neely, who was also schizophrenic, began shouting and making threats, saying someone was going to “die today” and that he didn’t care about going to prison for life. It was at that point that Penny placed him in a chokehold from behind to stop the deranged individual from hurting anyone.
It should be noted that at the time of this altercation, Neely had a lengthy criminal record, which included a 2021 assault on a 67-year-old woman at another subway station, and also had an active arrest warrant.
Neely later died, and Penny, a former Marine, was charged with his death. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Penny with second-degree manslaughter.
The prosecuting Attorney is a radical, woke leftist named Dafna Yoran, a lesbian who’s married to a radical feminist artist who specializes in “Latinx” “Feminist” and “Decolonial” work. She has decided that the only facts that matter in this case are that Penny was white and Neely was black.
During the trial, she repeatedly called Penny the “White man.” She even went as far as to brag about pioneering the “restorative justice” sentence for an NYC murderer.
In her closing arguments, this is the way she shaded Penny:
“He didn’t recognize that Jordan Neely was a person He saw him as a person that needed to be eliminated.”
“She claimed that Penny ‘was so reckless with Neely’s life because he didn’t seem to recognize his humanity.’ She replayed a video of Penny’s police interrogation, where he referred to Neely as a ‘crackhead’ and told detectives, ‘You know these guys, they’re pushing people in front of trains and stuff.”
“We’ve all spoken dismissively about people like Jordan Neely,’ she said. ‘Maybe we, too, have lumped them all together like this, but the context is very telling here. When the defendant is talking like this about Mr. Neely, he knows he very likely had killed him. Can you imagine a reasonable person speaking like this about a human being that he or she had just killed?”
However, despite the venom and hatred spewed by Yoran, the jury was deadlocked on the top charge of manslaughter. They remained deadlocked after being instructed to continue trying to reach a verdict. If found guilty, Penny could be sentenced to 15 years.
After jurors said they were deadlocked a second time, Yoran had no choice but to ask to have the top charge dismissed to allow the jury to debate the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide, which carries a maximum punishment of four years in prison.
The Judge, Maxwell Wiley, agreed to drop the first count and continue the case with the second count.
“Manslaughter in the second degree is dismissed,” Wiley told the jurors. “What that means is you are now free to consider count two. Whether that makes any difference, I have no idea.”
Wiley then sent the jury home for the day. They will resume deliberations on Monday on the second charge.
This is not a victory. This is a clear case of reverse racism. Neely is a known criminal with a violent past that Penny subdued to protect himself and the other passengers. The vigilante wokeness of both Alvin Bragg and the hateful Yoran has changed the tone of an unfortunate death into something it isn’t.
There are even differing opinions on the cause of death. An expert for the defense, Dr. Satish Chundru, took the stand as the second expert witness for the defense team to refute testimony from a New York City medical examiner who ruled that Neely died from compression to his neck as a result of a chokehold.
Chundru is a forensic pathologist and consultant with experience as a medical examiner in various counties in Florida and Texas. He has conducted over 9,000 autopsies. He was retained by the defense a little more than two weeks after Neely’s death.
Chundru’s testimony contradicted that of Dr. Cynthia Harris, the medical examiner who conducted the autopsy on Neely and determined that he died as a result of the chokehold. Chundru stated that he did not believe Neely died from the chokehold or that Penny applied enough consistent pressure to render him unconscious.
Chundru stated that he believed Neely died due to a combination of factors: a sickle cell crisis, schizophrenia, the struggle and restraint, and the synthetic marijuana present in his system. He mentioned that he had reviewed Neely’s autopsy report, two toxicology reports, genetic studies, autopsy photographs, several videos of the incident, psychiatric records, witness statements, and transcripts from police body camera footage, among other materials.
Chundru criticized Harris, who told jurors Neely suffered “an asphyxial death,” for issuing a ruling about his cause of death before toxicology and other tests were complete.
It also should be known that Yoran once reduced the sentence for a black man who killed an 87-year-old professor at an ATM for $300. Was this also done under the guise of “restorative justice?”
That’s right, Yoran saw to it that the black perpetrator was charged with manslaughter instead of felony murder, reducing his potential sentence from 25 years to life to 10 years.
Penny needs to have all charges dropped, and prosecutors like Yoran, who exhibit racist behavior, must be exposed and removed from the judicial system. It is well past time for this so-called “woke justice” to be publicly ridiculed for the farce it has become.
