It sure seems like the prosecution is because of the races of the people involved.
They’re trying to “Derek Chauvin” him.
The Feddies love American political prisoners. This is just like Stalin and Castro’s world.
BTTT
It’s a jury trial is it not?
Penny is white, the person that died is black and we’re talking about nyc here......full of libs.
You never know what a jury will do.
I pray not, but I fear this young man may go to prison.
A rational jury would find him not guilty. A honest judge would give a directed verdict of not guilty. This is New York.
Whitey deserves what he gets.
There aren't enough transit cops nor enough to pay them the overtime needed to protect female riders.
The women will be forced to either find other means of transportation, other places to live or work, or protect themselves like Bernie Goetz did.
Bring your earplugs riders...
I’m pretty sure that Fat Alvin is only interested in cases that have a political up-side for him. Prosecuting real crimes is uninteresting.
New York and Alvin Bragg should pay for Penny’s legal expenses.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is the one who should be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced.
Their ace in the hole is a CORRUPT, BIASED, RACIST NEW YORK CITY JURY.
For me, this statement says that Penny's choke hold either contributed to or directly killed Neely. The question should not be if Penny's action contributed to the death of Neely. The question should be whether Penny was acting to protect passengers on the train from an erratic dangerous person - and were his actions purposely excessive?
Penny was trying to incapacitate a dangerous individual. How was Penny to know Neely's medical condition(s), which contributed to his death.
Good. New Yawkers, especially Fat Alvin the Kook, should not be allowed to dabble in the criminal justice system. Those idiots are clueless.
I believe this is a federal case so hopefully Trump has a way to quickly pardon him should the NYC jury not do the right thing here.
As one who works in NYC, I am often on subways and see the kind of mentally ill trash that often come on board the trains to harrass the other people. Usually it's relatively harmless and does not go beyond aggressive panhandling or trying to sell $5 candy bars that they probably shoplifted out of a Duane Reade store. This is why New York commuters have learned to jam in earphones and keep their eyes glued on their devices, pretending to ignore the riff-raff around them.
Fortunately I have not see anything really bad in a subway. I often wonder what my reaction would be if I saw a female commuter or tourist get physically harrassed by this scum. I'm quite sure my male protective instincts will kick in at that point and I'd be forced to take action, then quite possibly having my own life ruined by standing trial and having my life savings drained to pay for lawyers and such.
Hopefully I can retire before that situation arises (just a few more years!).
Closing arguments 12/2...The defense has rested - is the court taking this week off?
Wake up everyone, the Communist who have hijacked government at all levels are trying to outlaw self-defense against the criminals they love
Ordinarily, a good bit of reasonable doubt in court would prompt an acquittal. But in a NY court only a miracle would suffice.
I’d NY had a real Governor, Bragg would be fired.
