Marine Veteran Daniel Penny Acquitted in Subway Chokehold Death, Stands by Actions
Dec 11, 2024, 12:44 AM
Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran, has been acquitted in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely. Following the verdict, Penny spoke out for the first time, expressing that he had no regrets about his actions, which he said were driven by a desire to protect fellow subway passengers from Neely's threats to kill them. Penny recounted that Neely was threatening to kill passengers, and he felt compelled to intervene, stating he could not live with the guilt if someone had been harmed. Despite the trial and public scrutiny, Penny remains steadfast in his belief that he did the right thing, even if it meant facing legal consequences. He also criticized the policies of liberal city leaders, suggesting they have not worked and that public officials are reluctant to admit their errors.
