This week, Daniel Penny’s defense attorneys flagged Judge Maxwell Wiley to what they say are improper and misleading actions by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office working with the media.
Penny, a 26-year-old Marine veteran, is on trial for the death of Jordan Neely, whom Penny restrained on the NYC subway last year after Neely allegedly threatened passengers.
The defense says Bragg’s office has been aggressively pushing the media to add in their coverage that there’s no mandatory minimum sentence if Penny is convicted on the second-degree manslaughter charge.
“The District Attorney’s efforts to have the jury speculate as to a potential sentence are both improper and misleading,” Penny attorneys Steven Raiser and Thomas Kenniff told Fox News. “While it is technically true that these charges do not carry a mandatory minimum, that is the case with most felonies in New York. It is equally true that the maximum sentence is 15 years in state prison.”

“You know, the more I learn about this Alvin Bragg fellow, the less I care for him.”
— apologies to Norm MacDonald.
Bragg? Improper? No,I refuse to believe it!
If the verdict is anything but guilty the person(s) who voted not guilty had better move out of NYC...pronto!
Colonel Potter had a great line in a MASH episode. When talking to a particularly odious character he said...in that calm Midwestern tone of his...”Will Rogers never met you,did he”.
I don’t understand how they can find the guy guilty of anything. He was trying to protect and save the others on the subway train. I don’t know how Bragg sleeps at night.
Alvin Bragg needs to become the CEO of UnitedHealthCare Inc.
Yes. The protestors are threatening the jury that George Floyd riots will erupt if Penny is acquitted. This is the same tactic used to intimidate the Derek Chauvin jury.
>> If the verdict is anything but guilty the person(s) who voted not guilty had better move out of NYC...pronto!
As others on different threads have pointed out, this matter is different than (say) President Trump on trial for his accountants’ QuickBooks categorization choices. ;-)
At least one maybe more of the jurors appear to be “straphangers” themselves. They daily see the filth and disorder into which NYC has descended and they see Daniel Penny as part of the necessary solution.
If I was “that guy” holding out for acquittal, I might be feted as a hero by a decent number of my peers!

heh...
I’d rather see him hung by his back hooves, bled out into a bucket, and rendered into lard. Then burn the lard.
If the jury hangs I guarantee it’ll be retried.....this is all about making an example of this young man and punishing the White man.
I know how that sounds but I truly believe it.
Maybe the holdout is for guilty. Not likely, but it could be the case.
Daniel Perry is a hero! But unfortunately in this country, the left truly Despise heros and patriots, and will punish them whenever they can because they are so jealous of them
RIP Norm
The selective prosecution of white citizens seems to have begun with Bernie Goetz and gotten worse ever since.
It could be either way. There could be one or more holding out for conviction. We don't know. We can't know. We can only hope for the best although there's no question the jury seems hung at this point.
Bragg is a true Demon. What a disgusting POS.
Daffy is another blankety-blank foreigner w/ a tax-paid
job determined to decimate American values on our dime.
These distasteful foreign loyalists need to get thrown out of our government pronto.
Dafna was born in Israel, is a lesbian, "married" to Peruvian Back Lives.Matter acolyte Ana Obregoso.
It’s women like these that disrupt my drunken excuses about, “I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body.”
Because,....THAT’S A MAN, BABY!
The black guy who stabbed Neely got off scot free. But they’re going after whitey who in no way killed him. It is racial, pure and simple. Penny needs the key to the city and a parade, not all this.
