NOT GUILTY Daniel Penny on Trial for manslaughter and negligent homicide of Jordan Neely #4

[fred&edna]

Is it ok to be making personal threats against someones life to someone in a courtroom ? Asking for a friend...

Judge?

Well, obvious how some people act when they get a decision they don't like.

Yay, buy off trials! Is America great or what!

I'll believe that there are funds left over when I see it.

There is still a civil case. Like with OJ there is another avenue to make DP and his deep pockets pay.


all imo

I don’t think DP has deep pockets.

So happy that he can go on with his life.

Many thanks to this American hero.

Well @fred&edna now you won't have to make a visit to the city.

I hope he is going to show receipts for those donations. Just saying something doesn't make it so.

Personally, I hope he keeps the money …

Uhmmm okay, I didn't say I was going to the city.

I don't need a receipt.

This comment is not fair at all. No one has become a target and I know of no one with autism who is scared because of this verdict. I have a nephew with autism and he is one of the sweetest people I know. The jury got it right......and I for one am thankful that someone stood up to protect innocent lives.

You have incorrectly quoted this comment. I didn't make the comment, but was responding to it. Please correct your post.

NOT GUILTY !!!!

THANK FREAKING GOODNESS! Absolutely shameful what they put this poor man through.

Way to go jury!!!

 

[IceIce9]

The autism community is scared right now, that's for sure. Anyone acting oddly in public has just become a target.

What does autism have to do with anything?

"Acting oddly in public" doesn't describe threatening to kill people.

What a miscarriage of justice. Jordan Neely was murdered in a subway car full of people, because people were scared of his words. His actions that day...ranting and raving, but he didn't touch nor harm anyone that day. And if you're okay with that, something is very wrong.

So now we or should I say certain people can go around killing people when the killer is "scared".

I would be pissed if I were Neely's family as well. Praying for his family.

Editing to add-someonenposted that if we don't agree with the verdict that we can respect it. I can't respect it any more than I respect the verdict in George Zimmerman's trial.
What I can say is that I hope that juries get it right when they are tasked with these decisions and yes sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. And I can make a committent to do all I can to get it right for any trials where I serve as a juror.

My mistake, I'm sorry.

Are you saying that the jury was "bought off"? That suggestion really denigrates the hard and conscientious work of the jury members who deliberated in this case.

With regard to the funds, the owner of the fund has made it clear that the funds will be used for the criminal case and for any civil action that may happen in the future. So yes, there are funds to help Danny with his civil case and attorney fees, etc. I would also hope that the funds may be used for security to protect DP in the days and weeks ahead, for whatever timeframe he needs security detail.

Yes, you read correctly the cards were stacked 3 mill+ for the slick expensive wealthy hired gun Dr to be brought to town in a case against a homeless guy.

The owner of the funds can say whatever he wants but we have no way to know what is true if its held in private trust.


I doubt Danny needs security, lol.

The jury disagrees with you.

Daniel Penny was homeless?

I think it’s worth noting and thinking about: Daniel Penny is about to be rich. The book deal alone if he gets one ghostwritten in the next year is worth seven figures. I haven’t heard him speak, but if he takes on the keynote speaking circuit and is comfortable at a podium, he’s worth high five figures, maybe six figures, per engagement. PACs will want him for rallies. He will be offered at least a couple of sponsorships. The money donated over the course of this trial is a fraction of what he’ll ultimately make coming out of this. America is a very unique place.

As a lifelong New Yorker, I’ve been reading here but haven’t posted.

I would be too emotionally involved, as someone who as a younger woman was twice sexually assaulted on the subway.

I’m grateful for the verdict. It’s always been my opinion that DP was a good guy trying to save the other passengers. He had no intent to kill.

Wish someone like him had been around when the guy in midtown was just murdered.

My opinion.

Daniel Penny was homeless?

I doubt it although it might humble him.

The phase brought against a homeless guy obviously meaning JN and the vitriol against him.

It is sad that you don't respect our justice system. Yes, sometimes it goes the way we want and sometimes it doesn't. But that doesn't mean you should disrespect the system as a whole. Yes, Neely was in a subway car full of people and he was threatening people. The fact that he was taken into a chokehold is the reason he didn't touch or harm anyone that day. Did you want someone hurt before someone else reacted? He DID hurt someone else another day. He was NOT a harmless person. He had mental illness, that is true. His homelessness had nothing to do with how he was treated either. How he treated others is what caused the reaction that day. Although I wish he hadn't died that day, noone set out to kill him that day. However, he refused help and he was a walking timebomb.

I am very thankful the jury got this right!

Now, we can play David Bowie's " We can be Heroes" again !
The jury saved NYC !

Do you realize you are unfairly speaking for 75 million people?

I doubt that’s even on his mind. He has to pay attorneys because bogus charges were brought against him. His freedom is what he cares about and for people to know he was trying to defend innocent people that day.
However he chooses to go forward is up to him. I’m happy for him.
