Alrighty, folks, so the Daniel Penny verdict is in. He has been acquitted. Thank God. Thank God. The jury did the right thing. I'll bring all the details in just one second.

All right.

So Daniel Penny has now been found not guilty by the jury in Manhattan in the so-called

chokehold death of Jordan Neely.

So you remember the video.

This is where the drug-addled, mentally ill homeless person is abusing people on the subway, threatening them physically.

And Daniel Penny, who's a veteran, comes up behind him and puts him in a submission hold.

Again, the goal of the submission hold is to make him submit.

It is to either push him to submit or to push him into unconsciousness.

It was not to kill him.

There's all sorts of evidence that was presented, particularly by the defense, showing that it was not, in fact, the quote unquote chokehold that

killed him. There was no deprivation of air to his lungs, for example, so he didn't die because

there was damage to the trachea, for example. And obviously, this entire situation occurred

because the annual penny was trying to defend all of the other members of the public on the subway from the predations of Jordan Neely.

And the basic presumption, I suppose, in the city of New York is that if you are a person who tries to defend your fellow citizens from criminals, then you must be prosecuted if you are of one color and the person who ends up dead is of another color. If you are white and the person who ends up dead is black, then you will be prosecuted. If you're both white, probably not. If you're both black, probably not. But that is the way that this particular case was prosecuted from the very beginning. It was deeply corrupt. This was ever prosecuted in the first place. It was all caught on tape. There are other members of the public who were trying to help out

Daniel Penny to force Jordan Neely to stop his aggressive activity. According to the New York Post,

the panelists acquitted Penny of criminal negligent homicide, which could have put him behind bars

for up to four years, manslaughter

was tossed on Friday after jurors said they could not reach unanimous verdict on that particular

matter.

Jurors did side with the defense attorneys.

They'd argue that the Marine veteran was justified in rushing to protect fellow subway strangers
