DANIEL PENNY VERDICT IS IN: "NOT GUILTY."

Daniel Penny trial update: the defense requested a mistrial, citing that chants of "If we don't get no justice, they don't get no peace" were audible in the courtroom.
The prosecution scoffed, saying that only the less threatening chant of "Justice for Jordan Neely" was heard.

The defense in the Daniel Penny trial just requested a mistrial. The prosecution disagreed, saying the judge should issue an Allen charge to prod the jury into a decision.
The judge has sided with the prosecution, saying he will issue "a full Allen charge." Reporting for @TheFP

A widely shared video of a former Marine wrapping his arms around a man’s neck and restraining him in a chokehold until he died on the floor of a New York City subway car will play a key role in the trial of Daniel Penny, who is charged in the death of Jordan Neely.
Both Penny’s attorneys and those prosecuting him say they will use the four-minute video to bolster their arguments in a case that became a flashpoint in the nation’s long-standing debate over racial justice and, closer to home, the safety of the city’s subway system.
Attorneys for Penny, 26, who is white, say their client did not apply enough pressure for the hold to be deadly, while prosecutors argue he used excessive force to take the life of Neely, a 30-year-old Black man who worked as a Michael Jackson impersonator.
Jury selection begins Monday in Penny’s trial, which is expected to last six weeks. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide and faces a maximum of 15 years in prison if convicted of the top charge.
The New York City chief medical examiner’s office found that Neely died from compression to his neck as a result of the chokehold, and the manner was homicide.
The May 1, 2023, killing began with Neely, who struggled with homelessness and mental illness, shouting aboard an F train in Manhattan, witnesses said. Some recalled him saying he was homeless, hungry and didn’t care whether he went to jail. Prosecutors do not dispute that Neely was acting in an aggressive manner, they said in court documents.

This case is much more likely to help Trump than Kamala.

He'd walk if I were on that jury

The cops don't do anything, then the state attacks a private citizen when he does something.
And then people wonder why public spaces are no longer safe.

Gonna be a fun ride. I'm not sure how they could get homicide from this if he didn't intend to kill the victim.

Another reason I'm glad I don't live in a large city.

Will Biden's handlers threaten the jury as they did in the Chauvin case where they state emphatically during deliberations that they need to " do the right thing"?

Lately I've been pro-public vs pro-cop. And I found myself always defending cops until recently.
You see how the cops act in Portland and Seattle and NYC. It definitely changed my view of them.

idk why his race matters in this context
“worked”? that’s just an outright lie and completely gaslighting on the fact that this dude is a homeless criminal

After spending a little bit of time in NYC he is even more of a hero than I thought he was before I had been here. The fact that he tried to help people from these zombies is nothing short of a miracle in a city where no one gives a shite about anyone else in the first place. A lot of these crazy people do as they please and there is no help out there to stop them. Not guilty.

The ethnic breakup of that jury will probably be everything

Why on earth do they do this shite?
Can someone please explain to me, why is it when talking about race, white isn’t capitalized, but black is?

I hope they have more of a defense than this.
