The Daniel Penny trial continues in New York City. As you probably remember, Daniel Penny is being tried for the murder of Jordan Neely<\/span> in a subway car. Neely was behaving strangely and threatening the passengers in the car when former Marine Daniel Penny put him in a strangle hold to restrain him and protect the other passengers.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Townhall<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams is publicly defending Daniel Penny and his heroic actions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Adams appeared on a November 30 episode<\/a> of “The Rob Astorino Show,” where he praised Penny for “doing what we should have done as a city,” protecting the people of New York.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The young man [Neely], in this case, was going within our system, throughout the revolving door of our system. Now, we’re on the subway where we’re hearing someone talking about hurting people, killing people,” Adams told the show’s titular host, formerly a GOP candidate for New York governor. “You have someone [Penny] on that subway who was responding \u2014 doing what we should have done as a city.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Those passengers were afraid,” Adams added. “I’ve been on the subway system. I know what it is like as a police officer to wrestle or fight with someone.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adams went on to criticize the city’s mental health support system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

At the time of Neely’s death, there was an active warrant out for his arrest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During closing arguments, the defense told jurors: “The government wasn’t there. The police weren’t there. Danny was.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“And when he needed help, no one was there. The government has the nerve to blame Danny because police weren’t there. Blame Danny for holding on when police weren’t there,” Penny’s defense attorney Steven Raiser said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Penny faces up to 19 years in prison if convicted on both counts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jury deliberations began on Tuesday following a month-long trial<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adams said he hoped jurors would “make the right decision” when rendering Penny’s verdict.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’m hoping that the jury will hear all the facts, based on all the facts that’s laid out, a jury of his peers would make the right decision,” he stated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“That could have easily been a case where you saw three innocent people murdered on our street two weeks ago,” Adams said Saturday, referencing a recent mid-November deadly stabbing spree in Manhattan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It is imperative that we look at the totality of this problem,” Adams urged.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am not in favor of people taking the law into their own hands, but in this case, Daniel Penny probably saved at least one life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
