The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has made the decision to charge Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old former Marine, in connection with the incident on a New York City subway train earlier this month involving a deranged homeless man named Jordan Neely. It is expected that Penny will turn himself in on Friday to face criminal charges. Penny was one of three individuals who helped subdue Neely to protect fellow passengers and is seen in video of the incident keeping Neely in a chokehold.
NBC 4 New York is told this decision to charge Daniel Penny was made by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office – and will happen without being presented to a grand jury at this time.
A Manhattan District Attorney spokesperson and NYPD spokesperson have not returned requests for what charge or charges might be filed Friday. Penny’s attorney did not returns calls for comment.
Penny’s attorneys have said previously there was no way he “could have foreseen” that his bid to subdue an alleged perceived threat would turn deadly.
Neely’s family says that amounts to a confession.

And now Neely's family is concerned?
Bragg is a disgrace.
On May 1, at the Broadway-Lafayette station, witnesses reported that Jordan Neely was acting aggressively toward other passengers on a train. Neely is a career criminal with over 40 prior arrests for various offenses, including drug-related charges, disorderly conduct, and fare evasion. At the time of his death, Neely had an outstanding warrant for assaulting a 67-year-old woman. Multiple witnesses came forward to state that Neely had made repeated attempts to push people onto subway tracks.
This kid picked the absolute wrong city to try to do the right thing in.
New York City.
White man kills a protected species, black, homeless & a Michael Jackson impersonator.
Daniel Penny will be lucky if Bragg does not go for the death penalty. Even though New York outlawed capital punishment 50 years ago.
One wonders where the Neely family’s concern was while he was homeless.
Why didn’t these loudmouthed, dumbass “protestors” do something for Neely while he was still alive? They are all a bunch of demented frauds. They could have set up a GoFundMe page for him and he’d be a millionaire instead of a corpse. Frauds with big mouths and small brains!
“one of three individuals”
If there were three individuals involved there was almost certainly no reason to use a chokehold for several minutes.
Bragg AND Letitia James, the corrupt black NY AG who has made prosecuting Trump her entire professional goal, both have to be bodily thrown out of office. They are obvious affirmative action hires, highly biased and racist commies. Living trash masquerading as legal entities. If Neely were white, you wouldn’t have heard a peep from either of these two idiot hacks. But they are both committed to freeing as many of their ghetto brethren as possible, and down wid that devil white man!
The lawsuit lottery runs deep with the Neely's.
Indeed. But now they smell money.
Bragg will indict Todd Beamer on murder charges for rushing the cockpit and forcing the terrorist, about to kill everyone on board, to lose control of the plan and crash.
It appears that Beamer was too harsh, he should have negotiated with the terrorists and then gently removed their hands from the wheel.
Everyone seems to be using a rap sheet to justify a chokehold.
It might work here, but it won't in a court of law.
Forget it, Jake. It’s New York City.
come on, is anyone really surprised by this?
I left the New York City area in 1997. I LITERALLY shook the dust of of the place off the soles of my shoes as we boarded the plane.
Remember, WE are the neo-marxists now.
And its the PERFECT marxist governance script - suppress any individual urge to justice or desire to “get involved,” outside of the collective, dissolve natural human bonds of society, make every individual atomized and able to deal only with and through the state, make people live in fear of random, political bureaucratic judgement
Lenin and Mao Tse dong would absolutely support this.
The test is always to reverse the colors and note if the response would be the same.
If NY is fed up with crime he will be acquitted. Either verdict may cause riots, which is always the government’s goal.
