Last Update: A judge granted the prosecution’s motion to dismiss the more serious charge of second-degree manslaughter against Daniel Penny on Friday in his trial over the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway last year, clearing the way for the jury to consider the remaining lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide.
The remaining charge of criminally negligent homicide could also mean a felony charge and imprisonment for up to four years.
Update: No verdict has been reached; prosecution might include the charge of criminally negligent homicide.
The defense asked for a mistrial.
Update: The judge told the jury to continue deliberating. How anyone could consider finding him guilty of manslaughter is a. disgrace, but it’s New York.
The jurors in the Manhattan Penny trial told the judge they could not reach an agreement on the manslaughter charge against Good Samaritan Daniel Penny.
The jury in the trial of Daniel Penny told a judge Friday morning that it could not come to a unanimous decision on the top charge of manslaughter.
Penny is charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the May 2023 chokehold death [it wasn’t a chokehold] of Jordan Neely. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of the top charge. He has pleaded not guilty.
They have to agree on the manslaughter charge before they can consider the criminally negligent homicide charge, which is also bogus.
Judge Maxwell Wiley told the jury he would confer with defense attorneys and prosecutors before issuing further guidance.
The judge will likely tell them to go back and try again.
Penny, a former Marine and architecture student, had been coming from class and was on his way to the gym on the afternoon of May 1, 2023, when he encountered a threatening, dangerous Neely on a New York City subway.
Penny had no intention of harming Jordan Neely, who was high on drugs. He wanted to save terrorized riders on a train.
The Neely parents, who reportedly never cared adequately for Jordan Neely, are suing Penny.
Meet the off-the-wall prosecutor:
Daniel Penny’s prosecutor Dafna Yoran insanely states that she previously went easy on a clear m*rderer because she felt the perpetrator had a tough life.
Yet she persecutes veteran Penny.
Unbelievable. She should be disbarred and indicted immediately.pic.twitter.com/dzu4PfyWvG

The “prosecutor”(?) needs to be disbarred for not following the law in this case and another one it admitted to using some sort of “justice” based on its feelings. With Bragg and ADAs like this one in this case, NYC is in deep sh*t. Advice to folks: stay away from blue cities/states.
According to the precepts of socialism, Mr. Penny must be punished for usurping the role of minions of the state. He intervened in a situation where the police could/should have had this violent and mentally unstable person either medicated or in a secure environment. If more citizens were to emulate Mr. Penny, there would be fewer attacks by the violent drug addicted and mentally ill “homeless”. This would mean that fewer police would be required, and socialism would be denied their primary tool against citizens, that being the arbitrary and capricious infliction of “law”.
NY is a state filled with evil people. Trump should pardon this man immediately so he can leave that state filled will debauchery.
Trump cannot pardon Dan Penny because he’s not charged with a federal crime. Only the NY governor can pardon him. Perhaps PRESIDENT TRUMP can ‘pressure’ our IdiotLib governor.
This is only one reason I despise our system. For a single act a person will receive multiple charges. It is how many a plea bargain is coerced against the innocent.
Hopefully the es will ll becomes ‘not-guilty’ votes. The proscecutor whould be charged with malpractice and face diswbarrment.
If this happens.
What this says is If your wife, girlfriend, sister, mother, daughter, grandmother or anyone else’s relative is in danger don’t intervene. Consume popcorn and upload it to chit tube. Live stream if possible. So you can get VIEWS instead of YEARS…
Can we make sure this is well known law of the land so no other good people do the right thing? Compliance of common sense is no excuse.
No surprise. Metropolitan dwellers have been conditioned to ignore crime for decades. “Avoid eye contact. Look away. Don’t get involved.” So when jurors are presented with someone who actually didn’t just look away, no matter how much they appreciate that somebody took action, they’re conflicted. Hence a hung jury.
Also, some of the jury is afraid to find him not guilty.
So he’s sympathetic to the guy who kills someone he is robbing and due to his actions the victim dies. He wants a conviction to someone who tries to stop someone from terrorizing people and through his actions the perpetrator dies. I think in the old superman comics this was Bizarro world. If we say the name of the prosecutor backwards, maybe he’ll disappear.
The jury should refuse to go back. If they are deadlocked, it means the prosecution did not make the case. Period.
Too stupid to get out of jury duty?
The same city that claims Trump was guilty of a non crime, go figure.
Same DA. Bragg. Oh, and he’s up for re-election soon. Thus, Penny trial so he can get his points for prosecuting “racist” crimes. Or something like that.
Too bad it wasn’t a white guy, we never would have heard a thing about it and he would be hailed a hero.
This pieceofshiite prosecutor needs to be raped by a ‘migrant’ from Africa. Now THAT WOULD BE KARMA. while white bystanders video it.
NYC has become a toilet bowl; a prime example of 60 years of (D) control. It reminds me of the Bernard Getz case from decades ago. Anyone who stands up and exercises self-defense is branded an insane killer. The only insane people are the ones running NYC.
I’m a defense attorney. Unless Penny had some incriminating social media posts, I would have put this guy on the stand. Juries like to hear from the defendant.
Unbelievable. He should be getting the keys to the city and a lifetime supply of jellies.
If he is able to overcome this and regain his freedom, I hope he wises up and gets TFO of New York completely.
Why upstanding people continue to live in these leftist communist enclaves is mind boggling.
It may be your hometown, and you love it, but it no longer loves you.
Wouldn’t you love to hear that the prosecutor got mugged or carjacked?
Whats the racial makeup of the jury? I haven’t heard. Wouldn’t be surprised if the vote was along racial lines except for a few far left whites.
So the judge instructs them to keep going until someone changes their mind. What kind of justice is that?
Justice in NYC? Lololololol
What are you talking about? Leftists count votes in Commifornia until they get a lefty winner and judges in NYC tell jurors to count votes until the conservative defendant goes to prison. I wonder if “Flyover Country” will ever secede and really become a country?
Well if it is currently 11-1 for acquittal would you want him to halt deliberations?
It’s the socialist “just us” system.
This is so sad..God Bless him for trying to help people..this world is so upside down..Praying for you Daniel..
