Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran, has been acquitted in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely in May 2023. In his first interview since the verdict, Penny expressed no regrets about his actions, stating he would do it again to protect others. He criticized the policies of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who prosecuted him, and suggested that these policies have not worked in favor of public safety. Penny's legal team is now considering a malicious prosecution lawsuit against Bragg, alleging collusion with the medical examiner during the trial. The case has sparked a debate on subway safety and the legal implications of intervening in potentially violent situations.
