Marine Veteran Daniel Penny Defends Subway Chokehold Action, Faces Civil Suit
Dec 11, 2024, 06:30 PM
Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran acquitted in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely, has spoken out for the first time since his acquittal. In interviews, Penny expressed no regrets about his actions, stating he would endure public scrutiny and court appearances to prevent harm to others. He described himself as being in a 'very vulnerable position' during the encounter. Penny's case has sparked discussions on subway safety, the role of Good Samaritans, and the policies of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who has faced criticism for his handling of the case. Despite his acquittal, Penny faces a civil lawsuit, and there are suggestions that he might pursue legal action against Bragg for malicious prosecution. The case has also raised questions about racial dynamics, with some observers noting that Penny was assisted by individuals of different ethnic backgrounds, challenging claims of racial bias.
