On Sunday, The New York Post<\/a> posted an article about the murder trial of Daniel Penny that is taking place in New York. As you remember, Daniel Penny is being tried for the subway murder of Jordan Neely in May 2023.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

On Friday, the defense rested in the Daniel Penny trial, leaving many observers to ask what Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was thinking in pursuing this case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the course of the second-degree manslaughter trial, Bragg\u2019s prosecutors tried to sell the narrative that the Marine vet overreacted and behaved \u201crecklessly\u201d when he restrained Jordan Neely on that F train back in May 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But a host of prosecution <\/em>witnesses, Penny\u2019s fellow passengers, knocked massive holes in that tale, as one after another veteran subway rider described how terror-stricken they felt while trapped in the train car with the angry, unstable, threatening Neely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One woman said she \u201cwas scared s\u2013tless\u201d by Neely\u2019s behavior <\/a>and recalled him yelling: \u201cI don\u2019t give a damn. I will kill a motherf\u2014er. I\u2019m ready to die.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

She stuck around after the ordeal to thank Penny for defending her and everyone else in the car that day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another, a high school student, said she was \u201cso nervous<\/a>\u201d that she feared she \u201cwas going to pass out,\u201d and said she didn\u2019t hear other passengers\u2019 warning to Penny to let go of Neely during the struggle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Closing arguments begin Dec. 2; it\u2019s hard to think the jury will need to deliberate long.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Bragg and his team who\u2019ll have to put in time figuring out why they took such a weak case to trial.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are some real questions in my mind as to how New York is making decisions regarding who to let off for crimes committed and who to put on trial. It seems to me that Daniel Penny is the least of New York’s worries as far as criminals are concerned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
