Daniel Penny gets justice.

We think we got the United Healthcare Assassin

and why Dwight Shrewt rejected atheism.

Next on the AM update.

Daniel Penny has been found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely.

It comes after jurors told the court Friday morning they couldn't reach an agreement on the top charge, second-degree manslaughter,

and prosecutors moved to dismiss it, prompting the judge to controversially allow them to only deliberate the second charge.

Penny, a 26-year-old Marine veteran and architecture student, was charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide for the subway chokehold death of Neely,

a 30-year-old homeless man with schizophrenia who barged onto the train, shouting death threats,

swell high on a type of synthetic marijuana known as K-2. Penny'sged onto the train, shouting death threats, swell high on a type of

Penny's side of the courtroom erupted in shears, prompting an angry response from Neelyside,

including his father, Andre Zachary, who told reporters yesterday,

and didn't of course care about him while he was homeless.

He's saying he misses his son and the system is rigged and he feels really, really badly about it all.
