I dont know if Trump can technically pardon Penny but if he can he absolutely should, then give him a medal

ETA, never mind, I misread. The DA dismissed the charges. Yeah, it's a ploy by them, but hopefully there's enough hold outs on the jury for this guy not to bite on it.

But he wasn’t acquitted of manslaughter. That charge was dismissed. (Not sure with or without prejudice)

Judge is basically asking jury to split the baby.

I caught where I was wrong before you.

I thought they had gotten an actual jury ruling on THAT charge, and were still holding out on the other, which would have been seen as nothing but good news for him. I still think, it shouldn't be seen as a negative development for him.

Does NY not have lesser included charges? Can they only deliberate on one charge at a time? That's my confusion.

It seems the criminally negligent homicide was billed, but they're making them come back for just that?

They sat the jury so double jeopardy should attach.

Yeah, I don't know about that either.

I'd like to think there would be at least one or two jurors able to sniff out some possible frickery afoot based on this either way.

Napkin "math" but I have to imagine there is one holdout in perpetuity/across the board because they didn't deliberate that long.

Won't happen in NYC, but some locale of a more nobler disposition should make a statue of the choke-out. Same with Gary Plauche.

He can’t but he can cut push to cut funding to NY as punishment for targeting heroes.

Before deliberations began Tuesday afternoon, Wiley told the jury that it must come to a unanimous decision on the manslaughter charge before it would be allowed to consider criminally negligent homicide. They were also instructed to decide whether Penny’s actions caused Neely’s death and, if so, whether he had acted recklessly and in an unjustified manner.

This case is over or a mistrial. If not, the judge and Bragg should be disbarred.
