Opening Statements in Daniel Perry’s Manslaughter Trial Began

Daniel Perry, a former Marine, was attending architecture school at the time of the unfortunate death of Jordan Neely. Perry was working two jobs to pay for college. He was in court this week for opening statements in his manslaughter trial. Perry tried to protect people on a train, and it ended in Neely’s accidental death.

The deceased man, Jordan Neely, was a violent, deranged man with multiple arrests.

The prosecutors and media want Daniel Perry convicted and keep saying he put Neely in an illegal chokehold. Perry was only trying to restrain him, and two other men helped. They are minorities and were not charged.

Protesters outside the courtroom demanded Perry be convicted.

No one will ever again want to be a good Samaritan in New York City.

Prosecution

Inside the courtroom, prosecutors delivered their remarks first, conceding that Neely “scared many of the people” on the train where he died.

“Jordan Neely took his last breaths on the dirty floor of an uptown F train – at the time he died, he was 30 years old, homeless, on synthetic drugs, and suffering from mental illness,” Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran began.

He put himself there.

Prosecutors, in a 45-minute opening statement, said Penny maintained the chokehold for 5 minutes and 53 seconds, calling the move “unnecessarily reckless.”

The Defense Attorney

“As the doors seal shut, and the train goes towards the dark tunnel, Neely slams his jacket on the ground with such force that the train falls silent,” Penny’s defense continued. “He demands drinks, food, and money. He tells passengers that if they don’t give them what he wants, he is going to take it from them.”

Neely raised his voice, ranting about going back to the Rikers Island jail and getting a life prison sentence, He said he was ready to die, the defense continued.

“Passengers begin flooding towards the far end of the subway car, Neely sets his sights on a group of female passengers, [and] at that moment Danny sees a mother barricading her son behind a baby stroller,” the lawyers said. “Neely utters the words, ‘I will kill,’ and, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, when Jordan Neely threatened to kill, there was only one thing Danny Penny could do.”

After Neely announced the threat, there was no time to “de-escalate the situation,” they said. Penny acted defensively to take down the madman.

“Danny’s intent is not to kill Mr. Neely. In fact, he did not want to hurt him at all,” the defense continued. “The evidence will show that Danny made every conscious effort to avoid harm.

Penny used what the defense described as a “non-fatal chokehold” he had been trained to use.

Jordan Neely had a pulse when police arrived but was not breathing. They administered Narcan but failed to revive him.

“Protesters outside the courtroom demanded Perry be convicted.”
A SIGN OF MOB RULE. People with full knowledge of the evidence pre-convicting a person and trying to intimidate the court. Disgustingly un-American. Saul Alinsky’s legacy is unfortunately alive and well.

Oh, please, did the drunken HOBO have a Gun or a Knife? You cannot just schizophrenically overreact to a HOBO! They say all kinds of stupid things. However, Penny, will get, manslaughter, for being careless ( 5-minute chokehold) and causing the Death. Even Children Fighting “on the GD Street Corner” release a Chokehold once they see their Adversary is Down. Nobody ever dies, unless someone intends it and so there has to be some kind of consequence for being careless. Neely was not Armed and did not Physically Attack anyone, I assume?
Talking/Threats is not a Physical Assault; and therefore, lethal force is not Justified. This is why you do not want to play Captain America , unless there is absolutely no choice! Had he started PUSHING/ Punching people, then you could take him down.

. Where is your healthcare system, mankind? IS Healthcare only for the Rich? Then, you get, Neely, and there will be Millions more in your Future, geniuses! You gonna kill them all Captian America? Homeless shelters and Healthcare is a Necessity. Most of you are too feeble minded to comprehend the meaning of necessity and therefore will suffer the consequences. YOU got TRILLIONS for UKRAINE and ISRAEL, Satanists, FIGURE IT OUT ALREADY. THE MATH IS VERY SIMPLE!

you did not read the details , he was threatening to kill people.

when someone says they will kill you, you don t know what they have in their pockets, a knife, a gun

there were women and children there, someone had to stop him.

you are 100% wrong.

Democrats have corrupted everything, polluted everything, made everything defective and strange and unfair and like in a nightmare

if you are white and save people from being hurt or killed by a colored democrats send you to prison

if you are colored and commit violent crimes, democrats release you the next day

if you murder an innocent girl The democrat president, during his address to the nation, apologizes to the killer for having called him an illegal

Cocaine was found at the White House

Trans danced while showing their naked breasts at the White House

Democrats invite drag queens who dance half naked in front of young kids

Democrats modified the record to hide the fact Biden called republicans garbage

I could go on with 20 maybe 50 other things

with democrats what was sacred is not disrespected

and what was dysfunctional frowned upon is glorified by democrats

You are a white family with kids ; to democrats you are strange

you are an obese lesbian with pink and green hair face piercings and so many tattoos there is almost no skin left ; democrats admire you

you love your country ; democrats hate you

you are an illegal ; democrats unroll the red carpet and venerate you

Biden bragged about ignoring a Supreme court ruling

if it is sick, weird, immoral, illegal, innapropriate democrats LOVE it, celebrate it

if it is good and sane and normal democrats hate it want to destroy it

If Kamala wins (trough voting fraud , it is the only way that low IQ evil woman could win ) the USA will become a hell hole, more nations will abandon the US dollars and soon after many nations that depend on the USA will also fall like a house of cards

I am now calling democrats the new barbarians, they are decivilizing everything

I m not even sure decivilizing is a word but that is what they are doing.

Allowing people to shop lift for 900$ is the opposite of being civilized

half naked drag queens dancing in front of young kids is the opposite of being civilized

The federal government sending men to cut the barb wires in Arizona to make sure illegals can invade is both uncivilized and an anti-American act.

ok i ll get down my soap box now
