As reported earlier Monday, Daniel Penny was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely during an incident on a New York City subway in 2023.
The jury reached this verdict after more than 24 hours of deliberation across five days.
Penny, a former Marine, had pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, following an altercation in which he placed Jordan Neely in a chokehold.
The trial of Daniel Penny, a former Marine, centered around the events on May 1, 2023, when unhinged Jordan Neely boarded an F train, displaying erratic behavior, including shouting threats at passengers.
Penny placed Neely in a chokehold, a technique he had learned during his military service, for several minutes, after which Neely stopped moving and was later pronounced dead.
Neely has been arrested 42 times over the last decade. His most recent arrest was in November 2021 for assaulting a 67-year-old woman.
The corrupt judge overseeing the case dismissed the manslaughter charge
“I’ll take a chance and grant the people’s application,” Judge Wiley said on Friday. “Normally the distinction between the two counts is very clear. The justification adds another element to it which is at play here.”
Daniel Penny’s lawyers blasted the corrupt judge.
“This has never been done before. It would encourage prosecutors to over-charge in the grand jury, with the option of withdrawing if hung, under coercion,” Penny’s lawyer said.
The jury returned on Monday to consider a verdict on a lesser charge.
Jury deadlocked on top charge.
The judge dismissed that from the case (unheard of), knowing Penny can be RETRIED for that.
Judge knows the jury won’t understand this.
He is pushing them into a compromise verdict on a less charge.
LAWLESS is an understatement!

The judge’s dirty trick didn’t work.
The jury found Daniel Penny not guilty on Monday.
Penny and his lawyers celebrated in a bar in New York City.
“He was trying to help people on that train, and he did,” Penny’s lawyer said.
“I’m just glad that the jury was able to truly evaluate that as a potential cause of de*th and that Danny was justified in the actions that he took,” he said.
