The 12-person jury deciding the fate of Daniel Penny, a 26-year-old architecture student and Marine veteran charged in the 2023 death of Jordan Neely, has sent a note to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Maxwell Wiley saying they are unable to reach a verdict on the most serious charge of second-degree manslaughter. “At this time, we are unable to come to a unanimous vote on count 1,” read the note, which was sent just after 11 A.M.Friday.
Until and unless jurors acquit Penny of the manslaughter charge, they may not move on to consider the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide in the death of the mentally ill homeless man who menaced passengers inside the subway car in which Penny was riding.
Judge Wiley gave jurors a so-called Allen charge — an order to continue deliberations and make every effort to reach a unanimous verdict. The more serious charge of second-degree manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of up to 15 years, while the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide is punishable by up to four years in prison. There's no minimum required sentence for either charge.
On May 1, 2023, 30-year-old Jordan Neely burst onto a car of the uptown F train at the Second Ave. station in Manhattan. He tore off his jacket and began moving about erratically and ranting that he was going to kill people, and he didn't care if he died or went to prison. The homeless man was in the throes of severe schizophrenia and under the influence of N2, a synthetic marijuana that can have a similar effect to cocaine.
The passengers in the subway car were understandably frightened. One of them, then-24-year-old Daniel Penny, judged that six-foot-one Neely's behavior was menacing enough that the man needed to be restrained before he harmed someone.

For those unfamiliar with the case, Daniel Penny, a trained Marine, came up behind Neely and put him into a chokehold to get him under control as he was threatening to kill someone. Two other passengers helped Penny restrain Neely. After approximately six minutes, Neely had gone limp, and Penny released his hold and then placed him in a recovery position. But emergency responders were not able to revive Neely, and he was declared dead.
You’ll be shocked to hear that Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg decided to charge Penny with second-degree manslaughter as well as criminally negligent homicide, both felonies. The first charge carries a maximum sentence of up to 15 years in prison, while the second can be punishable by up to four years. There is no minimum sentence for either, however.
Bragg, as most of those familar with NYC as he was the one who prosecuted Trump in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” trial, has become notorious for releasing violent, mentally ill criminals back onto the streets of New York while choosing to prosecute anyone courageous enough to stand up and defend himself or others from these loose cannons.
Bragg, who is black, is known for coming down especially hard on non-black males who act defensively while overlooking violent crimes committed by black New Yorkers. (Neely was black, and Penny is white.)
The fact that it wasn’t a quick acquittal just confirms what I think of New Yorkers.
You don’t know how many want to acquit and how many are holdouts.
I curious what the racial make up of the jury is.
I suspect, like the OJ trial, this is about black racism not justice.
If he was Penny was black and the “druggie” was white, he would have never even been arrested.
...and here's where the problem truly is....with dirty corrupt Brag himself!
So, evidence and testimony means nothing . . .
Looks like he is out of danger for the most serious count, but still could do time if they agree on lesser count.
Who would a juror rather ride with on the subway: the crazed crackhead or Daniel Perry?
Every juror who desires to convict Perry and this witch prosecutor should get attacked by a crazie while 10 strong men stand there and do nothing.
But just heard on fox that the jury wants to know what a “Reasonable person” means..so the judge is going to force this jury to convict Penny of something..seriously this should NEVER EVER have gone to trial..the ONLY thing Penny deserves is the damn key to the city for being a HERO, he is a HERO he saved everyone on that damn train that day
“and under the influence of N2, a synthetic marijuana that can have a similar effect to cocaine.”
N2 is Nitrogen... they mean K2
What is K2?
Here is a pretty comprehensive article on K2. It is a group of synthetic opioids that are far stronger than the THC in pot. About 10x stronger. There are about 200 different synthetic cannabinoids. K2 does not contain THC. It contains chemicals that mimic the effects of THC by binding to the cannabinoid receptors in a person’s brain.

Dangerous effects of K2 can include a high heart rate, vomiting, violent behavior, suicidal thoughts, high blood pressure, confusion, and chest pain. It is also possible to experience K2 toxicity or overdose on the drug. In rare instances, taking K2 can be life threatening.
Fox put up the comments of a black woman who was a witness to the whole event, praising Daniel Penny as a hero.
We don't know the breakdown of the jury but I suspect some of the POCs on the jury are hell-bent on finding Penny guilty. He is a white man and the dead man was black, so Penny must suffer.
I would add he assaulted 2 women , both over 60. In both cases he intimated by yells and threats then punched them in the head/face then ran.
I believe in this case he had done so very shortly before his death happened.
What sort of human classifies as a POS if not Neely?
—criminal record
—druggie
—mental illness
—racist/bully/thug
—-homeless
—jobless
—violent
I think we have taken this whole idea of egalitarianism too far.
What a dirty, rotten, shame the unjust ordeal these filth are putting this outstanding patriotic American veteran through. His one fault was being in New York,
“....while 10 strong men stand there and do nothing.”
...but cheer!😎
That’s a ridiculous statement. This guy has no idea why that person was masked. A lot of people have compromised immunity, and sitting on a jury involves a lot of close contact.
NYC courts are racially prejudiced against white folks. If you can don’t visit or spend money in the shithole called NYC.
I hope he gets off. This is a terrible way to treat someone who was doing his best to protect other people.
